I'm so happy I found this!
I am in the exact same boat! I went to the assessment day in Brisbane on the 25th, I got an email two days later telling me to notify my references that they could be contacted so I did... And now I find out only one f my references have been called over two weeks ago. What's making me more nervous is that I kept in contact with someone that went to the same assessment day and sat at the same table as me, and he got a phone call last week saying he has made it to ground school!!! Guys I'm freaking out and yesterday I called Altara following up on my application and all the lady said to me was I would be recieving an email within the coming weeks with the status of my application. Why would she say I will receive an email and not a phone call??? 😳😳😳
