Squigels, or any else finished video interview stage, have you heard anything from ASA yet?

Nothing yet, I've read that they usually have about 50-100 people that would have normally attended a day at the assessment centre in a given intake. I'm expecting that at least 50-100 people would have been invited to do online interviews and it may take quite some days, if not a few weeks, to get through them all. Fingers crossed we hear back with a verdict in the coming days but wouldn't hold my breathe.

I have completed the video interviews and just hanging out. The further I get into the process the more excited I get, and to say I'm excited is an understatement. I am quite patient and don't mind waiting though being already employed in Aviation.

Exactly how I feel, the further we go into the process the more optimistic I become, need to remind myself every now and again that the chances are always against me until I (hopefully) get an offer.
Hopefully the COVID situation hasn't had too harsh of an impact upon the recruitment team down in Melbourne and we can hear back from them soon.

Not to get anyone’s hopes up but there are well over 100 ATCs taking up offers of early retirement over the next year or so. Just about all of these positions will have to be filled again within the next couple years.

Hi all! I've been following this thread for a few years now and applied in this recruitment campaign. Got an email this afternoon to say I have made it through to the online video interviews. I presume given some of you have already completed this, that they are batching the interviews in groups. Fingers crossed for us all!

Best of luck with the video interview. It's pretty similar to really any interview on behavioural experiences in the workplace so don't stress too much about the specifics of the role. With that batching interviews into groups, it might mean we don't hear a final result for quite some time then

Thank you! That's relieving to hear. I think that might be the case with the interviews - Hopefully that works in our favour!

When I first applied in November 2018 I didn't receive a call after the testing until March 2019. I saw on some other forums that people were offered positions in that period so hopefully we won't have to wait for too many batches before we at least have a verdict of successful or not.

I created an account just so I could let you guys know that I just received an email today from air services that I didn't make it to the online interviews after completing the latest aptitude tests. So for everyone else out there who is still waiting for a reply you might still be in it to win it!

It's been quite the ride following this thread.

Good luck everyone!

Oh no! I have a couple of friends that got that email yesterday too..

Just did my video interview then - I think it went well, but will see what happens! I wonder if they are considering doing the assessment centre still in BNE - Just re-read the application and it does say we could still expect an assessment day after the video interview

Does anyone know is the 2 attempts rule still applies to the ATC trainee applications?

They used to state on the website that you are only permitted to apply twice before being barred forever but I cannot find mention of this anywhere now.

When I checked the website the other day it still stipulated you can only apply twice.

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."
