    Just a quick question- my son is applying for the student controller program and when completing the application form he was unable to input all his LC results. Maths was already input and he could only add 1 more subject. He chose English as his subject. Anyone able to shed any light on this? Thanks ðŸ‘

    I only had two options as well. I think this new 2018 application form is only looking for the Maths and English results.

    Did anyone that applied receive back a confirmation email?

    No, I don't think you will receive a confirmation email. I Read about it somewhere that you will not receive it after applying. Applications close on 11th May, you can then expect any email after that.

    Good morning,

    I have applied for this year's intake. If successful I will have to leave my current job. Is there anywhere where I can access the following.
    1. Current salary scale.
    2. Is their a pension (and type) for new ATCO
    3. Shift pattern in Dublin and Shannon

    I have seen older pay scales, read that there is a new pension scheme and new shift patterns but I can't locate current ones.

    Thanks for the help

    Under 25 only for Eurocontrol. NATS seem to have a good approach, trainee wage with an accommodation allowance.
    they're not only training NATS staff too, other air nav providers & airports are sending them to NATS to be trained... same sort of deal too I believe

    Can you please post the links to other European countries who are recruiting.
    Especially the bit regarding salary and that they will send students to the UK for training.

    Not so much hard as quite intense, especially the morning section.

    If you qualify with NATS, at some point could you apply for a job in Ireland?
    Or to work in Ireland must you be trained by the IAA?

    I did the tests a few weeks ago. Seemed to be 2 groups of 20 in the morning for the feast (which I thought I'd failed, but didn't)

    It seemed the successful people (18 in all) were invited back for the Dart at 2.30.

    I got an email telling me I passed.

    Next is an online "work strength profile". Anybody any ideas what this is???

    Questionnaire. Lots of “Agree strongly/somewhat/disagree” type statements.

    Suppose it's just a case of getting into the mindset of what they want.

    Got an email today saying it will be emailed out this week.

    Answer honestly. Psychological type assessments have the same questions worded differently a number of times in order to catch people who are attempting to answer as they think they should, rather than as they actually believe.

    Hey guys. Going doing the FEAST tests in 2 weeks time. Just wondering if the multi pass control test is something any of ye had to do or was it just the DART test. Says on the email there will be DART in the afternoon for 2hours 10mins, if you pass the FEAST 1. Just wondering if it will just be the DART test we will be doing or will it be multi control test also. Any information would be greatly appreciated.!
