Looks like we all just need to sweat it out a bit longer. Obviously the biggest worry would arise if others have been contacted before ourselves and that doesn't seem to be the case. So for now at least it's not a no

Anyone know how many they are hoping to recruit in the current round?
Did you guys/gals get to specify whether you were applying for en-route or tower or is it just luck of the draw what you end up doing?
Good luck to all.

They said they were looking to recruit anyone who had the aptitude, not a specific number.
We did get asked about our preference for tower or enroute but I think ultimately you take the course that they offer. I have a strong preference for tower but would still be very happy to do enroute if given the opportunity.

Got an email on Friday with a conditional offer of employment, very excited!
Assuming all goes well with the medical and security checks I will be in the En Route course staring on the 9th of April. If anyone else is on that course and wants to swap contact details feel free to PM me.

Did you get a phone call from them first? and were you given an option of tower/enroute and different course dates?
I do see a few posts up you had a preference for tower so was just wondering how it all happened.
Thanks.

So far I have only heard from one other person on the en route course so I don't know if they have finished making offers or if there is a tower course too.

Nope the Whirlpool guy is not me, and I have also had PMs from two other people on this forum who are on the en route course so there are at least four of us.

Is it possible that the large number of En-route students suggests a higher staff turnover in this area?
Maybe they don't run tower courses as often for this very reason...

I've been pretty chilled out about this the past couple of weeks, but starting to get a bit anxious, especially because they did contact my references 4 weeks ago.
I just want to know if i've been accepted or not, mainly because its hard to get the idea out of my head of making the big move to melbourne, and a whole lot of thought process could all be for naught.
Has anyone been offered positions other than the April 9th enroute course?

Hi all,
Been lurking here for the past week or two but figured I might as well join the chat. I attended the Friday assessment centre in February but I too have not heard anything since. My referees were also contacted the week after the assessment centre.
In the interview I gave a strong preference for Tower however stated I would just as happily take enroute if it was offered. Didn't feel I went my best at the assessment centre but don't think I did horribly. Will find out soon enough I suppose.

Hey guys, young applicant from Brisbane here adding to the discussion. Wasn't successful in the online testing stage but received a call today saying I had progressed and was given numerous dates to choose from to attend the Assessment centre stage in Melbourne. I will be attending on the 18th of May. Does anyone have any insight on what to expect on the Assessment day in Melbourne? Any past experience (from this year) would be greatly appreciated!

Austinlaing, in terms of the assessment center my best advice would be to get a good nights sleep beforehand. It is a mentally challenging day but honestly was a lot of fun. Trying to prepare would almost be doing yourself a disservice - we really don't know exactly what is being looked for in a candidate so just give everything a fair crack and hopefully you'll be fine.
Maggie Island, it is my understanding that so far only a handful of people have been offered a spot on an upcoming Enroute course. There have been no tower spots offered yet. At the assessment center in February they were definitely recruiting for both roles.
On the day we were told that AirServices was hoping to run two enroute courses and a tower course this year however they stressed that nothing had been locked in so I would not be banking on anything.

Congrats newpants!
Strongly suggest you get on top of the medical and security checks ASAP (in our case they were chasing us to get them all done within the first week after the offer). Also be aware that there is some pre-course study to complete before the course starts (they recommend setting aside 40 hours for it and we were give the material 2 weeks before our start date).
