Yea tell me about it haha. It feels like I'm stuck in purgatory right now. I know some who have applied just 2 months before me that are much further along in the process. There must've been an uptick in applicants around April in that case.

Yeah I applied April 1 and then at the end of the month they sent me all 7 of the tests to do and had a week to complete them. I did the AC in Sydney on Sep 19. Got the Xref request 2 days after AC and have been waiting 2 weeks now for a response.

Just out of curiosity, which cohort no. are you? When I go to the online portal, it says that I'm cohort 11.

Hi guys, been lurking around for a few weeks on here, thought I would share about my process until now.
July 11th - Application sent
Sep 22nd - Round 1 invite
Sep 30th - Round 2 invite
Oct 8th - Round 3 invite
Waited quite a bit to receive invite for 1st round of test, and now I reckon more waiting for the results.
I feel like I did ok on mosts of the tests, was particularly bad on spatial orientation and ok-ish on radar simulation.
So fingers crossed and keep waiting! I don't know if anyone on here in cohort 14 like me, but anyways, I wish you guys luck and hope that we might see each other someday!

I'm on the exact same timeline in cohort 14 as well (whatever that means).

How do you reckon you did in the testing?

No update from me. Guessing either tomorrow or next week we will hear back.

Does anyone know what the different cohorts mean?

My understanding is that the cohorts are the order in which people apply in a year; I assume they have different timelines for the different cohorts (for example, cohorts 1-6 who have stage 1 will move to stage 2 by x date, cohorts 7-12 will move to stage 2 by y date, etc.)

Not an official answer, just a guess

How long after the round 3 behavioral test did you receive that?
I got round 3 invite on 8th, and so far haven't heard anything back. Really excited by the opportunity, but it does seem to take a while.

Apologies for late reply, I don't come up here often
I think I did alright for most parts, except the Spatial Orientation, was too quick for me, radar simulation I missed a few math questions, how did you do?
Also, haven't heard anything back from ASA since I took the 3rd test.

I think my last test closed Sep 22, so a few weeks

Hi all, I am assigned cohort 14 and got the round 3 invite on 8 Oct.

Just received ASA's email saying thanks for your effort and will update you shortly.

I guess it is a neutral notification with no indication of success or failure?

Good luck to everyone waiting for ASA's update!

I just wish we knew whether we passed Stage 1 or not! Hahaha. I assumed we did given we hadn't received a rejection, but with the generic updates we're getting, I guess not

Trainee ATC WA?

Hi everyone, not sure if anyone saw the new trainee ATC posting titled WA Tower?
Does it mean all training will take place locally in WA/Perth only, so no flying to a Melbourne or NZ?
