Hi guys, sorry for the sluggish reply.
The skills assessment & interview went well.

I started off with the interview, it was a joint interview with a flight instructor from CAE and a representative from Swinburne. Basic what would you do in this situation type of questions, a couple of questions I was asked off the top of my head were
'have you ever had to work with someone you didn't get along with?',
'have you ever done something you've regretted?',
'ever diagnosed and rectified an issue before it became a bigger problem?'
and found that they were the same questions all interviewees were asked.

My interviewers were really good and the interview ended with a casual conversation about home and ended up leaving with a couple of good tips for a career in aviation.

Skills assessment involved some basic maths questions, some spatial awareness (Be careful as the questions are asked in a strange way and it took me a couple to realise what was going on, the multiple choice answers are there twice) and hand-eye co-ordination which involved a joystick and using the y axis and rotational movement to keep a target centred on a ball.

I wore business attire, but pretty soon felt over dressed when all but one other candidate was wearing smart/casual, but still better to look professional i guess

Thanks all for your help!
