Would the Dept. of Education have a service for this?

Sure ring up your school secretary. It might take a few days and they might ask you to write to a letter requesting this. I don't think you need to contact the Dept.

Oh, and I've applied for this job too

No, but I'm sure if you google for the specific sections you'll find something.

oh good idea! forgot that my school even existed......

I wonder would the referee checks be done early? Don't want to alert my bosses I could be leaving until it actually happens. Fingers crossed.

They will only contact your references after an interview.

Ah leave Celtic alone. Air traffic controllers have to learn lots of acronyms and learn to compress information into short sentances.

He's obviously practising

That's not ICAO standard...

He can only hope clear comms aren't a requirement.

Ginger · 02-09-2007 11:41PM

Well actually they have to neutralise their accents somewhat so that all aviators can understand them because it is a case that a lot of the people that they will be talking to, English is their second or third language.

Also they will have to learn to speak slower and more pronounced. My dad who was ATC from 25 years had to loose his midlands accent, and as such we grew up with a 30W accent based on how he talked

Nope seems he meant something else threebeards. :rolleyes:

BostonB · 04-09-2007 12:55AM

Dare I spell it out. (groan) I meant the txt speak. Its obvious you're mis-spelling for a jolly. Apologies for the off thread comments though.

The Insider · 04-09-2007 09:35AM

Me too - best of luck!

As a side-venture I make some contributions to a various careers guides relating to jobs in various branches of the aviation industry and now I've been asked to go through the IAA recruitment process. As far as ATC goes, I've previously completed the EuroControl and NATS processes (and turned down jobs in the end). The best advice to anyone going for these tests is practice on SHL psychometric, verbal and numerical tests and also practice your mental arithmetic, including fractions and percentages. Good luck, maybe see you there!

You have plenty of time to practice and do your research. Everyone will find it tough and the people with the best scores in the intial tests will not necessarily be the ones selected by the end.

Any websites or books you recommend?

samk · 09-09-2007 09:53PM

Same question as somebody posted before me. What websites are best for psychometric testing?

Ginger · 09-09-2007 10:02PM

I was talking to some of the training guys this weekend. Its a fairly tough test, its a case this weeds out the people not suitable for the interview afterwards.

Best thing to do folks, is try to remain calm under the pressure.. Remember the context of what you will be testing for, as in its spatial awareness, ability to cope with multiple situations at once and under pressure.

Sweating about it now is a waste of time, only get worried when you need to its easier!

I just hope people are not just doing this for the money .. it aint all that for the money.
