Congrats to those through to ground schools!
I'm in the ADL talent pool .. Just wondering if those that applied for ADL this year have had AD days yet?
Good luck if not!!

For everyone else, just remember it's a long process and try to do your current job as normal. Just to give you an idea, I applied in February! No news is good news.

20th Jan - applied online
07th Feb - sent email to upload a 30 second video to introduce myself
05th Mar - invited to AD

Well done to everyone who is progressing. It's all very exciting. Two quick questions to anyone in the know - do they provide dry cleaning for the uniforms and do they feed you on the plane? Thanks for all your help!

Perth
Hi all!!
I applied for AD In march - attended April 19th
2 days later passed my online test> 2 weeks later had reference checks > 2 weeks later had my swimming competency and made the talent pool. I've been in the talent pool since may 17th (so 4 weeks roughly)
Does anyone know how often they run ground schools ? There's one July 4th but it's full so im praying that there's one soon! I've heard some people can wait up to a year 😳😳

Hi all!

2 weeks later swimming comp then talent pool a few days later.
I've been in the VARA talent pool since May 17th so almost a month. I've heard there's a ground school starting July 4th but it's full
