From my POV I didn't think sunnySA said anything that appeared demeaning.. I read it as genuine advice. As in, don't stress about timelines as there are any number of reasons why information may be taking longer to be dispersed.

For the record when I went through the process (5-6 years ago) it took 18-24 months from application to offer. Patience is the key..

Fair enough if it wasn't meant that way, but it could have been taken both ways (and it definitely was).

I guess it depends. They're getting a new system so things may slow down a bit.

Pen n Paper

Can anyone confirm if pen and paper can be used during the maths section at the Assessment center?

[unique_name]

Awesome .. Will there be many Arthmentical problems for Climb and Descent in the Assesment day test? I have mostly be cosuting on Speed, Distance and time.

[The name is Porter]

My name is Porter- what gives him the right (or anyone else) to talk down to us then? We're all only trying to help each other out on the topic at hand, which is (in case anyone forgot) our recruitment process.

Talk down to you? This is one job where your sense of entitlement won't secure your future. Attitude is a fair proportion of success in this game. Carry on like a ******** and it will be noted, mainly on your training reports. Then again, one would hope that dickheads don't make it through the recruitment process.

The ones offering you good advice are the ones already working as ATC's. If you want to be dumb enough to have a crack at them before you have skin in the game, fill yer boots. They're going to be the ones terminating your training.

Brisbane is great, Especially after the win we had last night. I have my assessment coming day coming up soon and a little bit worried about the maths side of things. I have study pretty hard and can do a lot of it mentally, I just don't know what to expect on the day. Can anyone give me a bit of insight to put my mind at ease?

[stampin8or]

Hey unique_name: study your basic maths skills and your 3D shapes- you'll do great, I'm sure!

[unique_name]

Thank you for the advice. I'm looking forward to the testing as it seems like a bit of fun. If I get selected, i'm looking forward to the college and study. Best of luck to everyone who is going through the same process.

For those who have attended an assessment day, we were specifically asked not to talk about what the day entails. It would probably be better if the discussion stays general without mentioning what the tests are.
Cheers,

This might help those thinking of applying...

Has anyone heard about the process for their Class III Medicals? I know I can go out and get one done by a DAME, but should I be expecting correspondence from ASA beforehand?

[Lily64]

Don't worry about the medical until you're asked to get it. You'll get a detailed email with instructions of exactly what they want you to get, and where you should get it from. The medical's quite expensive (around $500 minimum), so don't get one until you're asked to do so.

What's the start date for the October course?

[bennett.wildfire]

I was told I'm starting on 9th of November. Anybody else in the same course?

[Know I. Deer]

Great news bennett.wildfire! I assume it's a Melbourne course?

Still waiting to hear which one I'll end up on.

[Knackers]

What's the start date for the October course?

5th October I'm told.

[Lily64]

Is that en route in October?

Hey Bennett if I recall correctly you were opting for tower? Is that what the 9 Nov course is?

[bennett.wildfire]

I was opting for tower but they put me on enroute. Oh well.
And yes, it is in Melbourne. Still waiting for my letter of offer though.

[Lily64]

My understanding is that they're only training a few people a year for tower at the moment so the current wait for a course could be well over a year...
Cheers,
