So finally sat and completed the online testing tonight. Anyone have any idea how long it took for Airservices to let them know whether they'd passed or failed?
I kept in contact with one person who's been very helpful. She quoted it took 5 weeks for Airservices to update her on the outcome...

I completed the online testing and checked on Thursday night - my message had changed to something along the lines of "you have been invited to complete the OPQ testing". When I logged back in on Friday, it had changed back to "Under Review".
I think that maybe with the mix-up with the link and the extension from the Wednesday to the Thursday deadline that there might have been some issue in the internal system. Hoping that we hear something soon! Good luck everyone else

Hi folks,
I checked online, my application status went from 'Online Testing Completed - under review' to just 'Online Testing Completed'.
Anyone know if this is good, bad or nothing important?

Testing Complete
This is the same message that I saw on Thursday evening, so hopefully it is an indication of passing, guess we'll see via email.

Mine also says testing complete and when I view my application there is a message saying I'll be invited to compete the OPQ assessments within the next few weeks.

My previous application from some years ago states 'Application Outcome', when I view application for that one it states something about reviewing the email they sent me.
I am quietly confident it is a good sign. Airservices recruitment seem pretty on the ball with the whole process and maintaining records and if you read the comment it seems pretty clear (verbal reasoning anyone?). Is there anyone on here that has applied who can see something different?

I sat the online testing last Tuesday night (3 July) and still no OPQ as yet
Yes, it was. I wasn't able to answer it though and they left a message

No, this is my first application, so not sure what the go is regarding the OPQ. Can anyone who has been through the process previously shed some light?

Across 2 forums, yours is so far the only report of any feedback or progress after the online testing. So now you've just made everyone even more anxious than they were already
*goes and checks phone and email another 7 times *

I am not sure if there are any "changes" as such to the testing. But the type of questions for each domain MIGHT change. For instance, one could study spatial tests with 3d cubes (because they used these in the test on the applicant's first attempt) only to end up with a different spatial test using rotated shapes, if that makes sense.
If you're not aware already, the tests involve verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, numerical calculations, spatial reasoning and checking tests. On successful completion of this, you will be invited to complete the OPQ (occupational personality questionnaire). To my understanding, you will only go to the assessment centre if you pass both the Online Ability Assessment and OPQ.
Feel free to PM me and I'll link you some of the sites I am doing practice tests with.

I didn't get through either.
Pretty gutted considering I was apparently at the next stage.
Good luck to everyone who has made it to the next stage.

Thanks CapnCoastie, kusinka and Chopz. Sorry to hear that some have missed out, hopefully you can be successful in the future. The Assessment Centre testing sounds a little daunting...
They basically just asked why I'm interested in aviation and working for them, then organised a time for the assessment centre.
