There is no training plan.
It has been asked repeatedly for the training plan to be published, so those involved at the centres can assess their requirements.
The ALMs ( front line managers) have not been told when the trainees will be arriving and are not rostering for it. No Level 3 manager ( the ones who are supposed to be given the big picture from upper management) has yet published their training plan even though they were supposed to be disseminated by the end of June.
Here we are nearly nine months into a 24 month ramp up of training and no-one knows what is going on.
The latest course is twiddling its thumbs in the ' Learning Academy' awaiting instructors.
This stuff-up will take years to fix. Unfortunately everytime the Association points out a looming problem to ASA bureaucrats they stick their fingers in their ears and cry "Industrial issues". The bureaucrats refuse to listen to their Level 3s and ALMs and controllers. I have also heard that TFN now doesn't want to listen to the GM ATC. He has hung his hat on his 'chosen ones' and will continue down this path regardless.
Did someone say "Iceberg"?
