Congrats! And thank you for sharing about the assessment day.
My application also still says "under review". I'll share as soon as I hear anything.

Did they send out an email as well?
Yes it was a pvt number. I got an email but only after the call as they want you to select a date on the call. The email then has an invite for the date you chose.

Thanks for the congrats everyone.

FYI I'm in WA

Yeah I did see that.
Let's hope it's something like that. No news is good news they say.
Best of luck!

Anyone know how many enroute courses are expected for 2018? I haven't had a call for assessment center either, status just like others "tests completed". Waiting waiting waiting...

There's another person in the whirlpool forum who's doing his on Thursday in Melbourne.

Hi,

Will see you there!

A little gutted that you guys are obviously progressing.

Also a little puzzled as to why the email after completing testing said “we will notify you of the outcome via email as soon as possible” and yet they seem to be contacting by phone first. I’ve been watching emails, as instructed, not phone calls from private numbers (of which I receive several of these a week).

Questions to those who were contacted.
Have your applications been updated at all in the portal or does it still say “under review” like the rest of us?
Has anyone been contacted regarding assessments days outside of this week?

Question to others.
Anyone been told “no” yet?

Just trying to gauge whether I should continue to hold out hope on get on with my life.

Wow that first line reads really badly. Sorry.

I am actually really happy for the guys who have been contacted. Just a little gutted I’m not one of them.

But in the absence of anything in the negative, there’s still a glimmer of hope I guess.

I'm in your boat so I can't speak for the people who have progressed to the Assessment Centre already.
I haven't been given a "no" which is great!
I'd say they invited the cream of the crop for this first week of testing. Applications closed yesterday for experienced Tower controllers also, so depending on how many applied for that and/or get through their ability and OPQ testing, may determine how many of us still waiting will be invited to the next stage. They obviously need controllers fairly fast so hiring experienced people over training people from scratch makes sense.

In regards to whether you should get on with your life or not, it all comes down to how much you want this opportunity.

For me, that's huge! I've been trying to get in since September 2014. I was invited to an Assessment Centre in 2016 but the Accelerate Program squashed that on me....

It was a full on but fascinating day.

No idea how we went as feedback isn't provided on the day.

What we did find out was that 50 people made it through to the assessment centers, approx 10 per day. If you didn't make it through to the centre then unfortunately you didn't make it through this round and will have to re apply next time.

Best of luck!
