Hey guys,
I just completed my online assessment, i thought it went pretty well, although was tricky in some parts.
My main concern about getting through, is that i have a DUI conviction (not criminal) about 4 years ago (when i was 19), does this rule me out automatically?
I have gone through the process and undertaken the courses to get my licence back and have been scotch free since (lesson learnt). I have a PPL and class 2 medical and go for the occasional flight.

hey guys,
I was just offered a spot on the enroute course in melbourne, starting january 7th, and found out from the lady I spoke with, that they don't have any more brisbane courses planned.
Also have a quick question for those who have been to the training centre in melb. What's the easiest wayyy to travel there? Car, bus train? It would be good to know if a car is essential there or not!

Reeftoppy is right. The Airservices compound is on the opposite side of the airport to the terminals, in the middle of nowhere 
One of the guys in my intake lives in Tullamarine and cycles to work, but it's a hell of a ride, especially with the wind blowing straight down Operations Road.
Airservices will pay for accommodation at the Quest Flemington for your first week. You'll need to find somewhere to live in that time if you're moving to Melbourne.

Hey guys,
Im starting the enroute course on Monday - does anyone know how far into the first week they test your pre-course knowledge? I haven't even started yet and I'm studying my ass off...

We did it on the Monday of the second week, other courses did theirs on the Friday of the first week I believe. If they follow the same timetable as us, you'll be doing a whole day of online corporate induction on the first Friday

Fifi, Ive been studying my ass off too :P Ive done everything except for the aerodynamics chapter now, which is what tomorrow is devoted to (leaving the biggest till last haha). Then throughout the week I can just keep refreshing myself on it so it all comes together for the day they test us.

shack87 - we were mailed out a USB stick with a whole bunch of info and all the aviation reference manuals. There is a pre course study guide/suggestion you get as well, which gives you a guideline on what to read up on and familiarise yourself with before you start. Word of warning - if you choose to get it all printed out and bound into the seperate manuals it will cost you close to $300! Theres around 2800 pages :s
I got mine about 3/4 weeks ago and I start on monday (enroute)

I only printed out the pages mentioned in the study guide, which in some cases, was like 10% of an entire chapter :P Plus I did it at work, so it didn't cost me anything fortunately!
All the previous comments are correct, the initial test is just to gauge where people are at and who might need a little extra help in the theory block, and they reteach everything over the first 8 weeks anyway. One person on our course never looked at the pre material, barely looked at the books at the college, and still passed :P Not saying that's the way to do it, just an indication :P
