Was fortunate enough to receive an email today inviting me to the assessment centre early next week, just a virtual "tour" with some different tests/activities to complete.
Anybody else invited at this stage? It will be exciting to finally communicate with Air Services directly and meet some of the others passionate about pursuing this career.

Hi all, I also got the assessment centre invite today. Does anybody know if this is the first time they're doing virtual assessment centres?

mikewil, as Squigels says it's still limited to twice:

"You can only apply for this position twice, so if your first application is unsuccessful you can only apply one more time. Once your application is submitted it will be counted as one attempt."

The afternoon sessions filled up quickly!

I'll be attending the morning session on September 29th if anyone else here chose the same time.
Good luck everyone ☺️

I am also down for a morning session on the 29th. That was the only session I could make work around my current work commitments. Good luck everyone!

Good luck to everyone who was invited to Assessment Centre sessions this week, as well as anyone who is invited in the future!
​​​​​​ Regardless of the outcome it's been an honour to make it this far and meet others passionate about pursuing the same career.

I'm a bit anxious about my anecdotes in the individual interview. Haven't had much experience in any stressful situations working solely in retail my life so far.
Found the other aspects of the day much more enjoyable and confident I did reasonably well.

Hey everyone with the advertisement for trainee ATC.. It says you need to have completed secondary study but it doesnt say that it has to be done in the last 10 yrs.. but on the FAQ it says completed something in the last 10 yrs? Does anyone know if that is the case? Any help would be great.. thanks..

Hey Kavorka, on the website it says this on the ATC trainee page:You must be able to provide evidence that you have obtained ONE of the following requirements in the past 10 years:
  • a Year 12 Certificate
  • a completed Tertiary Diploma
  • a completed Degree
  • a current Commercial Pilot Licence or Private Pilot Licence.
AKA this link here: http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/...aining-program

This one is a bit more comprehensive than the link provided in the job ad - I think so long as you have finished year 12, but have a further qualification gained within the past 10 years, you meet the requirements. I hope this helps!

You know though, you always perform better than you think you do in interviews. Fingers crossed for good news this week!

Congratulations! I'm also sending through references, can't imagine what may result in being unsuccessful after making it this far but we'll have to wait and see.
Which stream were you choosing as a preference? En route or Tower?

Congratulations to those who made it through. I also received the call and my references were contacted yesterday. My preference was Tower stream, but I'd honestly be happy with either.

References also contacted yesterday. Now that we're at the pointy end, things seem to be picking up speed.

It was a difficult decision, but I preferenced en route. Similarly, I would be happy with either.
