The bigger subjects are:
Search and Rescue - lots of lists, protocols and procedures
Communications - everything from hardware to phraseology
ATS - a kind of all-encompassing subject about the job and how it's done

If you want to scare yourself have a look at MATS chapter 10
Don't worry too much, it all seems hard at first however you will get there in the end.

Hi all
It seems that the current ATC ab initio application closure date has been extended from 31 January 2010 to 30 April 2010.
Could anyone hazard a guess as to why this is the case? Does it hold any significance?
Cheers

We're a bit over halfway through the exams, and nobody's failed yet 
The class average is pretty high and it's great to see everyone getting through.
I think the 2 groups split off from each other at the end of next week. I suppose that's why we haven't started on Sep Standards yet, concentrating on IFER instead.
So far so good....
Don't know what Salinger's on about, he's one frood who's got everything under control always

Its ok Blippy, they aren't actually upto the June course yet... they would be upto april, and brissyboy would be the next in line... however his preference of melbourne wasn't avaiable so they offered next melbourne position which is june. It just means one position on the june course is filled and they are working on april (when he was offered). The same thing happened to me, i was offered september last year, but next brisbane was march, so they put me on the list very early.

I hear you Blippy. I was emailed over 2 weeks ago to update my referee details and they still haven't been contacted. Maybe next week 
. Hopefully following your maths it might be early March instead of mid March/April.

This 'limbo' is a little frustrating but hey, it'll happen when it happens.

All the big exams are finally out of the way (for now), just a couple of "easier" exams next week.
The vibe on Fri was so much more relaxed, breaks were spent in the Rec Room catching up on the Winter Olympics instead of last minute cramming in the classroom.
Big Flyer (been pretty quiet on pprune lately, but he's always out there, puppet-master that he is
) has a mini cricket bat that you get to sign if you make your century in any exam. Finally had the privelage of adding my name after Thursday's Navigation result. Pretty happy about that.
We've got 3 more days together before we go our separate ways; the Enroute guys start their HMI on Thurs, and we (Tower) move into our Blippy roles for the current conversion courses for a few weeks.
Had to pack all our gear up on Fri arvo ready for the newbies starting on Mon (not us anymore!). Seems they're being eased into the craziness to come, with a day of Orientation followed by 2 days of Induction (schmoozing and sandwiches). Their test on the pre-course stuff will probably be on Thurs.
That's about it for now, hope it helps.
I'm off to the pub......

Back from the pub....
Little concerned about the correllation between George.W.Bush and ASA Air Traffic Controllers, but anyway....
Turns out Big Flyer isn't responsible for the cricket bat that century-makers get to sign, it's from Captain Mysterio who'se never posted on pprune before, though deep down we know he wants to.....
P.S. I've just realised that the bat only came out after Captain Mysterio got 100% for SAR....I should think before I post
