Hi Guys,
Just a quick bit of info for you all.
Our HR department (called People and Change) are run from Canberra, and the communication between Canberra and the 2 centres (Brisbane and Melbourne) is not always the best. P&C are also in charge of the Learning Academy.
If you made the OOM then you will be offered a course, provided your referees don't do anything negative in regard to you, and your police/security check is okay.
The reason for the delay is that it takes time to offer say 20 people a course, wait for the replies, then organise the group on to a course liasing with the Learning Academy and the Centres and/or towers at the same time. It's a big jigsaw puzzle that takes time to fit together.
Don't forget, the centres and towers can only take a certain amount of trainees at a time, and we already have a back log of training going on in all ATC Groups.
Sorry if this is not good news, but the message is, hang in there, cause it will happen....although not overnight.
Best of luck everyone, I hope to meet you all in the ops room.
