Hi everyone, I've recently applied also.
Does anyone know how many enroute/tower trainees
Airservices intend on recruiting in 2018. Obviously there's
a tower and enroute course starting in January 2018 but would love
to know what the rest of 2018 is looking like.
Cheers.

I received the following feedback from CEB Technical Support:
Airservices is currently experiencing a system issue and the links in their candidates' profiles have disappeared. They are attempting to fix the issues. Once the issue has been fixed, you should receive another email regarding the second test link soon. If you don't receive the email by the end of today, please contact your recruiter Airservices Australia directly for further information.

Hello everyone,
I have received an (invitation) assessment email again on Monday 15th morning and another email in the evening saying about an error regarding the test and wait for further instructions. I also found 3 links 2 assessment and 1 OPQ !!
Is 17th Deadline still valid? Is anyone in same position?

On the other hand, word on the street is that the OPQ can scrub you out pretty quick if you don’t fit the AsA mould
Deadlines should remain the 17th unless you got an extention, hopefully this means they’re trying to move quickly from this point on!? (Don’t hold your breath tho!)

EMail from Airservices Australia: The online testing timeframe has been extended to midnight Friday 19 January 2017 & Some applicants may notice 3 tests in their applicant portal (2x Ability Testing & 1x OPQ), if this affects you, please ensure you complete only 1 Ability Test and the OPQ Test.
All the best guys.

Given this is a rumour network then there were apparently 30,000 applications and 300 invited to the next stage of OPQ and Ability Testing.
Apparently the job search on www omitted the word 'Air" so there were literally thousands of "traffic controller" "lollypop backpackers" applying. Oh dear!!

Also; i know there have been issues with it, but tonight just completed the Ability testing but still waiting for the OPQ banner to reappear. Been nearly an hour. was hoping it'd be sooner as tonight was my best chance in terms of available time to complete these.

just wondering whether your second test has become available yet? its been about 24 hours, just wondering what the rough timeframe is between the ability testing and the personaility testing
