Airservices Australia Psychometric Testing
Is it possible that the large number of En-route students suggests a higher staff turnover in this area?
Maybe they don't run tower courses as often for this very reason...

I've been pretty chilled out about this the past couple of weeks, but starting to get a bit anxious, especially because they did contact my references 4 weeks ago.
I just want to know if i've been accepted or not, mainly because its hard to get the idea out of my head of making the big move to melbourne, and a whole lot of thought process could all be for naught.
Has anyone been offered positions other than the April 9th enroute course?

Hi all,
Been lurking here for the past week or two but figured I might as well join the chat. I attended the Friday assessment centre in February but I too have not heard anything since. My referees were also contacted the week after the assessment centre.
In the interview I gave a strong preference for Tower however stated I would just as happily take enroute if it was offered. Didn't feel I went my best at the assessment centre but don't think I did horribly. Will find out soon enough I suppose.

Hey guys, young applicant from Brisbane here adding to the discussion. Wasn't successful in the online testing stage but received a call today saying I had progressed and was given numerous dates to choose from to attend the Assessment centre stage in Melbourne. I will be attending on the 18th of May. Does anyone have any insight on what to expect on the Assessment day in Melbourne? Any past experience (from this year) would be greatly appreciated!

Austinlaing, in terms of the assessment center my best advice would be to get a good nights sleep beforehand. It is a mentally challenging day but honestly was a lot of fun. Trying to prepare would almost be doing yourself a disservice - we really don't know exactly what is being looked for in a candidate so just give everything a fair crack and hopefully you'll be fine.
Maggie Island, it is my understanding that so far only a handful of people have been offered a spot on an upcoming Enroute course. There have been no tower spots offered yet. At the assessment center in February they were definitely recruiting for both roles.
On the day we were told that AirServices was hoping to run two enroute courses and a tower course this year however they stressed that nothing had been locked in so I would not be banking on anything.

Congrats newpants!
Strongly suggest you get on top of the medical and security checks ASAP (in our case they were chasing us to get them all done within the first week after the offer). Also be aware that there is some pre-course study to complete before the course starts (they recommend setting aside 40 hours for it and we were give the material 2 weeks before our start date).

Thanks Dip!
yeah im aware what the medicals are like, having held a class 1 for commercial flight training previously. And how annoying casa can be with time frames! Luckily ASA have given me plenty of time for when they want the pre-start stuff completed by.
I plan on quitting my current job to leave me 2 weeks work free, which should give me enough time to do those studies that you mentioned, however havent been provided with them yet.
Good luck!

How is everyone going on the Enroute course that started in April?
Does anyone know if the Tower and Enroute course starting early July are fully booked?
Also is it possible that the successful applicants from this months Assessment Centres would start on a course at some stage in 2018?
Cheers.

We are going well; about half way through the first chunk of theory now.
Last we heard, the July courses are not yet filled. Unsure if this round of assessments is for July only, but they have indicated at least one more course for this year after the July start.

But i'd also go out on a limb and say that there is a good chance those being assessed/interviewed this month very much have a chance of starting on the July courses.

The rest of 2018 sounds promising, that's great!
