I have just returned from the testing at Melbourne Assessment Centre.
One of my biggest disappointments from these last few days is that at least one of the candidates has been coached, most probably from a previous applicant.
This is not looked upon favourably.
Not only that, it is so obvious when it happens. We see it, we change the scenario, and every time the candidate struggles.
The assessors have years of ATC experience and can spot the inconsistency a mile away.
As I have said before, come to the centre ready to do your best. You don't know what we are looking for, so don't try and short cut the process. It will not work.
Ok, rant over.
I would like to thank all those that did attend the assessment days and also thank them for their efforts. Good luck for all those that came and were themselves, and did their best.
Cheers
Boonie.

Hi,

Troy, I take it then you're Melb based? Are there any others out there? If so, we're in the same boat, and yes, I got the same email. So IF & WHEN I get an invite (not getting ahead of myself here!!), I guess it's off to Sydney then.......

Hi Guys,
We have had two assessment centres in Melbourne in October and also a couple of weeks ago.
The next Centres will be in Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
I believe the next time we are scheduled to be in Melbourne is June or July.
Its just a matter of spreading ourselves around, and going where the demand is from applicants.
Cheers

I suppose for those keen enough, travelling to Sydney for assessment shouldn't be a big issue....., it certainly doesn't bother me at all. Return flights out of Melb are usually pretty reasonable, if they're not booked at the last miniute, and if it's only a one day thing, we shouldn't have to worry about accomodation either? YAASB...., can you tell us if the venue is close to Sydney Airport?
