Sorry to hear that Erikk! What are your plans now? Are you still aiming to become an ATC by some other method or is it going to be something else now?

Did they let you know why you failed the interview part?

Well I still would love to work at Eurocontrol as ATCer, I could give it a try at the Dutch ATC organization and then switch to EC after a few years but due personal circumstances it is not possible for me to move. (Note: Maastricht is only 25km from were I live a.t.m. ;-))

I still would like to work in the aviation business, I'm orientatining right now on what my future is going to be. I have a background in ICT and atm I have a decend job.

Enough about me... ;-)

What concerns the feedback, I am waiting for a phonecall from the HR guy. He would contact me before the end of this week.
You have to ask for feedback explicit, I would recommend anyone to ask for feedback even if you are not going to reapply.

Whwew do you have to ask for feedback? At interview? When the resoults come in?

Failed the interview I had yesterday.

This morning I got my result. We were only six people, three of us failed, I'm waiting the others response...

We were about 60 people on january, at phase1, they keep wiping people till the end.
By the way, I have no chances left.

Today is a sad day gents...

Sorry to hear that. What about NATS?

Hi folks;

Just a quickie about the application process, i filled in the form and everything but was then asked to send in my school leaving certificate. Ive scanned that and sent it, but it seems a bit odd to me as it actually says nothing about what grades i got and makes no mention of my university degree etc. Im wondering if this is something that has got lost in translation and they are actually expecting to see a load of exam certificates?

Anyone have any clues?

Steve

hi
 

Uuups, it's supposed to be a PM. Sorry for that.

Do you wear glasses/contact lenses? If so, refraction is basically what strength your glasses are. The ATC medical requires between + and - 5 i think (im -3.5). If you dont wear glasses and can see 'perfectly' then this is likely to be 0 (though in truth its unlikely to be exactly 0, 20:20 vision is not 'perfect' vision, it is possible to be better, though few are!

Pm, too :}

Greetings Everybody
For those of you who applied to EUROCONTROL and received either an invitation or a message declining progression to stage 1, I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me how much time passed between them submitting their application and certificates to receiving some feedback.
Thank you.

i got feedback 1 week after i sent my school leaving diploma and 2 or 3 days after i sent certificate of visual performance

now i'm waiting to get a date for Phase 1 testing, which will be in May

hello!
 

Hello folks. I've been waiting since March for an answer about PHASE 1 testing in MUAC, and they told me that March was cancelled, and I was told that the next phase would be in MAY, but they haven't told me that I WAS GOING ON MAY. Any clues? Does anybody has a confirmation regarding going during MAY ?
Cheers

Hello :)
 

I would like to ask those of you who have already been thru phase 1.
Could you help me with theese:

1) At the ball on the wall test I was trying to imagine that if there are 4 screens (2 in the upper, 2 in the lower row) it must be really hard to give correct inputs as the numbers (1,2,3,4) are next to each other on the keyboard... Or is it possible to operate it with buttons that are in two rows (like for examp buttons R,T and FG on the keyboard)?

2) In the Strip Management Display did it ever happen to you that you should have put more strips below one checkpoint than available space is so it got full not leaving any place to put new strips in?

3) Is there any rule or tip how opposite conflict detection should be done? How can I recognize it???

4) When am I allowed to remove a strip? When the system time passes by the time on the strip?

I know these questions seems stupid for those of you who are familiar with strip management, I didnt do anything like this before...

Thanx in advance! :)

Hello Matichk
I'm also waiting to get a date for Phase 1 , which will be in May.

Congrats to everyone who has passed any phase recently.:ok:
I'm also going in May, anyone has the exact dates? would be quite useful since i've got exams.

Hello sixtolo91
What exams you have got?

He means exams at his college.

Anyway guys, I was wodering how do they test your English knowledge. Is there a written test? Also, is there any IQ, or logic paper test. Croatian selection is filled with that kind of tests.

Thanks

exactly, i've got university exams.

hi guys,

maybe a silly question but, can a British 19 year old guy apply for Eurocontrol if so where do i go?

Again, sorry for the silly question! :ugh:

go to eurocontrol website

Has anyone heard from Eurocontrol re: stage 1 in the last week or so?

I filled in the application form and was asked to submit my school leaving certificate. I emailed to ask if they wanted exam certificates and things, as i left school in 2004 and have since finished university, but they said the leaving certificate would be all they required, so i sent it in.

Still, that was 10 days ago and as yet i havnt had a reply. Can anyone shed any light on this? There was also no reply to say they had recieved my leaving certificate after i sent the email!

Boxerman: yes you can, Eurocontrol is open to anyone who resides in the EU. Check the website!

Hello LessThanSte and others
Last week, after about 7 days of sending in my exam certificates I got an email asking for me to complete an eye exam which I did and am now waiting for a reply. I got no acknowledgment of receiving my exam certificates. I am sure you will hear from them soon.

it depends, some people receive a notification a few days after and others have to wait over a month or so...
so do't worry and if you want any info email them or just give them a call.
By the way any new notices?:}

Well as i say i sent my school leaving certificate in but i havnt sent in any exam result certificates or my degree certificate. I dont know if they want them, the actual wording of their emails suggests no but then some people say, such as Richard, that they have sent exam certificates!

Suppose it wont hurt to send them an email to check though!

@ LessThanSte

i just sent school leaving certificate and they were OK with it :)

But i think somewhere there might be a difference in style, because my school leaving certificate has no details of actual grades achieved (wouldnt be of any use in, say, an application to the RAF or whatever). All it is is a page of writing by the head of our school sixth form on who i am, what i got up to, how i did and why i was generally awesome ('Beyond the classroom he is a loyal member of his House using his sporting talents to good effect in numerous competitions', that kind of thing, its almost a biography!)

Oh i should say that i sent them an email to check today, will post back when i get a reply!

So i got a reply from Eurocontrol to my earlier question, their email said 'we have not recieved your school leaving certificates and therefore cannot proceed with your application at present'. In other words, though i sent them what they asked for it wasnt the right thing. The joys of having different mother tongue's

So a school leaving certificate in the form of a big biography of yourself is not what they want and they actually mean exam result certificates. Sigh!

Could you help me with theese:

Good luck.

waiting list
 

hello:O
I was wondering if any of you are on a waiting list because after I took the second part of the test they told me that I had passed it, but the next week i received an e-mail saying that I am on a waiting list:-? fo you think there are any hopes left? or was that just a nice way of saying they made a mistake the first time :))

Hi guys.

Has anybody gotten their phase 1 date in May. I have sent my school diploma 07.03 and still haven't heard from them?

i'm also waiting for my date
on their page it says that we will be given notice at least 2 weeks before our date, so i'm not expecting their mail before mid april or something like that

Yeah, but shouldn't we perform eye examination before? And when that is done only then we get our date?

ah, i allready did that :)
maybe you should ask them about it

Precious Octa: I was on a waiting list for nearly 4 months back in the days when I did my tests to Eurocontrol - I've already kinda forgot about it, but then one day I've received a call for the second stage... So waiting list is really a waiting list, you've passed the first phase, but there were better candidates than you, they go first to the second stage tests. As soon as they need you they'll call you, don't worry!
Good luck!

I couldn't find the quote button so I just copy paste your post for easier reference :cool:
Hope it's not too late for help!

I would like to ask those of you who have already been thru phase 1.
Could you help me with theese:

1) At the ball on the wall test I was trying to imagine that if there are 4 screens (2 in the upper, 2 in the lower row) it must be really hard to give correct inputs as the numbers (1,2,3,4) are next to each other on the keyboard... Or is it possible to operate it with buttons that are in two rows (like for examp buttons R,T and FG on the keyboard)?
Yes, it is very hard to work with 4 screens at the same time, I put two fingers of one hand on 1 and 2 and two fingers of the other hand on 3 and 4, not the num pad but the numbers on top. A good thing is that 4 screen part doesn't last long. Not sureabout the letters.

2) In the Strip Management Display did it ever happen to you that you should have put more strips below one checkpoint than available space is so it got full not leaving any place to put new strips in?
No, you should always have enough space to put a new strip. If you run out of it like it happened to me that means you forgot to cancel one of the strips.

3) Is there any rule or tip how opposite conflict detection should be done? How can I recognize it???
It's a long and time consuming process. When I did the test we had 90 minutes to read all the instructions for the SDM test. In my case I haven't even looked for the opposites and passed the test and I am not alone. I know a few guys that are actually working as ATC on airport Tower that also haven't found or just haven't bothered looking for opposites and got the job at the end. Don't waste time. Do the updates, local conflicts and strip canceling. Concentrate particularly on the updates.

4) When am I allowed to remove a strip? When the system time passes by the time on the strip?
When the aircraft gets to the next checkpoint written on the strip. It's pain in the butt, but that's the way it should be done.:ugh:

I know these questions seems stupid for those of you who are familiar with strip management, I didnt do anything like this before...

Thanx in advance! :)

Hope it helps! Take care! :)

Hi guys!
I read the whole thread, top to bottom, first page to last! And I appreciate that at least some of you that :{ failed or that passed :D are actually sharing some info with us applicants.
Since I got all the info I needed, i got only one question! I don't understand the test with the cube, or folding the cube? What's that all about? What do you do on that test? Is there an online test that is at least similar to it?
Any response will be highly appreciated!

And of course, good luck to all!

Killua, i too am waiting on a reply from Eurocontrol, they acknowledged reciept of my certificates on March 16th, but i havnt heard anything since, not even the eye exam stuff.

Anyway my plan was to give them a month, and if no response by then fire them an email to see. I did wonder though, has anyone whos applied recently had a response to send in the eye certificates in the last 2 or 3 weeks?
