This page covers FEAST II only-later-stage multitasking and work-sample testing in the EUROCONTROL FEAST process. Session details come from the organisation that invited you.

This page focuses on FEAST II only. For FEAST I cognitive and English testing, see FEAST I overview. For full structure, see FEAST test format. For preparation strategy, see FEAST test prep.

What official sources say about FEAST II

The FEAST candidate site describes FEAST II as two more complex multitasking tests that generally follow successful completion of FEAST I.

EUROCONTROL’s FEAST service states that FEAST assesses abilities relevant to ATC training and the controller role. FEAST leaflet and candidate materials reference work-sample / multitasking tests-including DART and MULTI-PASS-as part of the broader FEAST offering used by participating organisations.

Which modules you take, in what order, and with what pass rules is decided by your FEAST user organisation-not by a single global FEAST script.

How FEAST II differs from FEAST I

FEAST I emphasises foundational cognitive ability and English language testing. FEAST II shifts toward combined workload: monitoring changing information, applying rules, prioritising, and maintaining accuracy under pressure.

Dimension FEAST I FEAST II
Skills emphasis Memory, attention, reasoning, spatial skills, English Multitasking, dynamic monitoring, prioritisation
Task style Often discrete aptitude items Often integrated, operationally styled scenarios
Prerequisites Entry stage for many pathways Generally after FEAST I success
Module detail FEAST I overview This page

FEAST II may feel more “ATC-like,” but it still screens aptitude for training-not certified controller performance.

DART and MULTI-PASS in official FEAST materials

EUROCONTROL FEAST documentation names DART and MULTI-PASS as work-sample / multitasking tests within the FEAST family. Candidates should not assume identical versions at every organisation.

What FEAST II may require in practice

Without claiming exact live-task content, candidates often need to:

  • switch attention between concurrent demands
  • apply rules consistently while information changes
  • prioritise when multiple items need action
  • recover from errors without losing overall control
  • stay calm when pace increases

Preparation should build flexible skill-not memorised patterns from unofficial “replica” sites.

Responsible preparation for FEAST II

  1. Complete or review FEAST I–oriented skills before heavy FEAST II simulation.
  2. Compare ATC Preparation FEAST software and JobTestPrep FEAST practice for interactive modules-see Preparation resources; live FEAST II tasks may still differ from any prep product in layout, instructions, and rules.
  3. Practise multitasking on MULTI-PASS and dynamic tasks on dynamic radar / DART pages as concept drills only.
  4. Read session instructions carefully when invited; training FAQ notes real tests may differ from training exercises in visual design and task details.
  5. Do not infer pass/fail thresholds from unofficial practice scores.

What not to assume

  • That DART and MULTI-PASS always appear together or in a fixed order
  • That practice platforms reproduce FEAST II exactly
  • That FEAST II replaces medical, interview, or local recruitment steps
  • That success in FEAST II guarantees employment or training placement

Preparation resources

Some linked preparation resources may be commercial. FEAST instructions from EUROCONTROL and the organisation that invited you should always come first.

FEAST II prep should match your organisation’s modules-not every package includes DART or MULTI-PASS-style practice. See JobTestPrep FEAST Review and ATC Preparation Review. SkyTest FEAST: European ATCO, UK & Ireland, Germany, Austria & Switzerland. ATC Preparation FEAST software.
