Hi All! A colleague showed me this website/thread after I told them I'd made it through the ASA testing, thought I'd share my situation here. I had my AC in Sydney in late March, and after reference checks in April I received a suitability(?) email about a week and a half ago. I'm waiting for them to finalise courses before they can progress the application for medical and ASIC. Rumors have it that the next courses after July are in October, would be neat to see if some of you are in the same boat.
I'm a Kiwi, so I've also been through the full testing with Airways in NZ. The testing process is the exact same, as ASA adopted the process from Airways about a year ago. Might be worth a consideration if you don't mind the move. The difference is that the Kiwis treat the training like a uni course; $14k NZD course cost, no pay until first placement, and no guaranteed job at the end. I received an offer for training with Airways, but turned them down in favour of ASA - the move is far worth it against the liability of Airways training costs.
