Just curious if anyone that attended the assessment centre has been offered a position yet?

I attended and have not heard anything since the assessment day.

I ended up changing my day last minute due to a work emergency so I went on the Thursday that week - not the Friday.

Has anyone who attended heard back at all?

I also attended the assessment day and yet to hear anything one way or the other.

Have your referees been contacted?

Same boat here. Attended the Monday Assessment Centre and my references have been contacted, but no news from ASA yet. Fingers crossed and good luck guys!

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.

Applications

Hi,

Just wondering whether the best way to apply for the trainee positions is to keep checking Airservices vacancies or the 'how to apply' page?

Thanks for your help.

Congrats Dip, hoping i hear from them soon aswell.

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.

Oddly enough there was no phone call, just an email. And no option to choose en route or tower (although as I said before I am still very happy to get an en route offer). Also no option to choose a different course date.

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.

Hi there, there was one other on the Whirlpool forums who has received the offer for enroute, unless of course that person is also Dip 🤔

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.
