Airservices Australia Psychometric Testing
Would age affect my application?
So I went away and worked in the 'real world' for a bit, took on a job that allowed me to demonstrate responsibility, and three years later was successful.
Having said that, that was my experience, yours may differ. Give it a go, and try not to get too disheartened if it ends in tears the first time.

Oh wow okay. I’ve had three jobs (one in a supervisor position) - would that help with demonstration of responsibility?
Have there been many successful 18 year olds or not so much?

Not a terrible place to be at age 24 on ATC 6 pay level while mates have just started looking for graduate positions with a huge HECS debt.
Correct and they don't pay any relocation or assistance with rentals etc. In addition, very, very few trainees get assigned back to Sydney. The majority of trainees will be allocated Brisbane or Melbourne Centre. Good luck.

Keeping my expectations in check, but pretty excited for a new challenge!

Email today about the third stage of testing. Does anyone know if this is a recent addition to the procedure?
I haven't seen anything in this forum about something after the aptitude and OPQ tests and before a phone interview.
Will be interesting to see what it entails when they release the info in a few days.

Nothing yet. Email last week said something mid this week. Hopefully something tomorrow or Friday. It seems from what I can read on this forum that the third stage of testing may be a new addition so they might be still sorting out some stuff.

Third stage of testing done, now the waiting game.
Any opinions from those that completed it? Personally I found the radar sim tests to be the most challenging, especially the ones with multitasking the maths equations.
Fingers crossed for good news.

I can’t say I’m all that confident with those tests! The multitasking maths/radar ones were a bit much, after a few rounds I started ignoring the maths questions because they were too distracting.
Good luck! Hopefully it won’t be a massive wait before we hear something.

Online Interview
Have only just stumbled across this thread. I applied for the most recent intake and was advised by email on Wednesday (August 18) that I had passed the tests and can now complete an Online Interview.
Just responses to pre-recorded audio, anyone else at this stage? I'm expecting they might not be inviting people to Melbourne this time round unless offered a position? I was invited to attend an interview in Melbourne in March last year but it was cancelled due to Covid, unsure how essential it would be to invite applicants to Vic to determine they're suited.

Also received the video interview email, fingers crossed to hear some good news in a few days time. It seems they might be doing the entire recruitment process online now due to COVID, although I'd much prefer to attend an in-person interview compared to recording answers on a computer.
