Training in Christchurch? That's a new one. Can you elaborate on this?

They’re outsourcing to Airways International to run more courses simultaneously. Slightly bummed that I will miss out on life and connections at the academy in Melb but oh well that’s life. The NZ bunch look like they have a good track record training NZ and UAE ATCs so I’m not too worried at this stage.

If they do run another course through Christchurch next time I think it could be different depending on how our intake goes. It does seem like we are the guinea pigs haha

Can't even train their own controllers now!
An initial cohort of six Airservices Australia trainees will be sent to Christchurch following 10 weeks of online training with Airways’ AKO virtual academy. This represents the beginning of a new contract between the two ATC organisations, with further cohorts expected to be sent in future. ......

Hi all,
Can anyone tell about the conversion course for the experience Air Traffic controllers. What is the success rate during the training and success rate for the final rating endorsement.
Thanks in advance

A possible disadvantage is a conflict of interest because you'd have done or seen ATC sim exams as an SSO.

New hopeful
Hey everyone!
I’m going through the newest set of recruitment for ASA, waiting for my second phase 2 of online testing.
I’ve read a fair bit here of the recruitment process, and although im not largely confident im going to get through im very curious about the life past testing
Any chance any controllers can tell me what the 12-15 months are like in training actually? What dyu learn etc

The content was mostly learning about the different categories of aircraft and the applicable separation standards to ensure safety.
The beginning is a very theory heavy classroom which transitions into simulator exercises. You definitely need to keep up with the study at home to be able to apply the learning during the simulator runs.
I was on a Tower Course but feel that En Route would be a similar experience.

Reference Limbo
May assessment centre for me, received XRef request a couple days later, and sitting in perpetual limbo. Anyone heard anything, or anyone have a past experience waiting a long time like this?
The waiting is the hardest thing out of all the tests 😅
