FEAST 2, or FEAST II, is the later FEAST stage associated with more complex multitasking and work-sample testing. It generally follows successful FEAST I performance, but the organisation that invited you decides which modules are used and in what order.

EUROCONTROL’s free training platform does not include FEAST II tests. For FEAST I, use FEAST 1; for general study strategy and the official platform, use FEAST preparation.

What EUROCONTROL actually says 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.

Your FEAST user organisation decides which modules you take and how progression works. In other words, there is no single universal FEAST II session that every candidate gets.

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 makes FEAST II feel different

The challenge is less about one isolated skill and more about keeping several things under control at once. In practice, that means being able 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.

Preparing for FEAST II

EUROCONTROL does not provide FEAST II exercises on its public training platform, so preparation should stay conservative:

  1. Make sure you understand FEAST I and your organisation’s invitation before assuming a FEAST II module.
  2. Use MULTI-PASS and dynamic radar / DART pages only to understand the broad skills and terminology referenced in public FEAST material.
  3. Practise multitasking, prioritisation, monitoring and rule application without trying to memorise a supposed replica.
  4. Read the live instructions carefully; EUROCONTROL warns that real tests can differ from training material in layout, instructions and rules.
  5. Do not infer an official pass mark from independent practice scores.

A few things not to read into practice

Do not assume DART and MULTI-PASS always appear together, or that an independent simulator reproduces the live test. FEAST II is only one part of a wider recruitment process, and passing it does not by itself guarantee a training place.
