When you ring, just tell them you have your assessment coming up and you want to do a famil beforehand. I know a few people have tried to organise visits before they applied and were turned down, especially at Melbourne.

They don't do a panel interview in the current form of testing, nearest thing is you have a one on one style chat with someone you could call an interview I guess :P But no sitting in front of a panel of people answering questions

Hi there everyone,
Listen here I was just wondering if anybody has any stats, on the success vs. failure rates of past and present en-route courses.
Thanks in advance.

Bronair,
The interview is done the same day as the assessment. It's a behavioural interview in the STAR format, Situation or Task, Action you took, Results you achieved. Mine took a bit over an hour if I remember correctly.

As mentioned by 1Charlie above, the lady probably said TCU: Terminal Control Unit, which is where the Sydney TMA (Terminal Control Area) is run from.
Basically there are three different types of controllers: enroute, TMA, and tower. Enroute controllers work in the Brisbane/Melbourne centres, the TMA controllers work in the TMA units at Brisbane/Sydney/Perth/Melbourne/Cairns/Adelaide, and the Tower guys, not surprisingly, work in the control towers. But of course, you'd know about that because you've done your research. Good luck

Sando,
You haven't read much of the thread have you. If you've only just applied, assuming you get in, don't expect to be on a course anytime this year.
There are only four people on each tower course and they seem to start about every 3 months. Considering your selection will take about 4 months, then you'll have about the same amount of time before your course starts, feel free to book holidays or whatever this year.

Hey guys,
Heading into the Sydney tower soon. Have a few questions ready to ask but want a few more. Any suggestions for good questions to ask. Don't want to miss anything.
Cheers

ASSESSMENT DAY!
Got the email today! I'm going to Brisbane on the 28th of March! Very nervous all of a sudden! I am glad to get through to this point though. I'm flying down the day before and I might try to organise a walk through the control centre's there if I can as I've only seen the towers in Cairns.
So any suggestions on what to study or how to prepare? I am going to have a study filled two weeks ahead of me. Talk about leaving it to the last minute though, two weeks notice, it's going to be an expensive flight that's for sure.

No age limit.
You must be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or have permanent residency status in Australia to apply. ASA will not sponsor you. If you don't have the right to live and work in australia then you must first apply under the skilled migration scheme. For more info visit here.
