RuddsD - I did the online assessment late 2013 & there was no spatial assessment. Only some maths, a code checking test and some general multiple choice questions. There may have been one or two other elements, but there was definitely no spatial stuff in my online assessment.
Having said that, I have my assessment day next week & there is going to be some spatial reasoning as part of the assessment. I've been practicing so hopefully won't trip me up too much!
Best of luck mate!

For anyone interested, I just found a very informative post by WilAdvise. It's post number 1868. If you troll through & look at the post number on RHS of text box heading, you should find it easy enough.
He's basically answered a whole bunch of FAQ's about life in ATC & training, etc.

Online Assessment - completed
Hi all, well last night was one night I don't want to repeat. After studying as much as I could (taking into consideration a large amount of overtime for my current job) - I think I did alright. Wasn't as tough as I thought it was going to be - yeah sure some questions were bit "OMG", but overall I think I did well. I guess only time will tell.
So does anyone know if they contact you IF you didn't do well / pass? And maybe an estimated time of how long it takes them to do this?

Hi D0ogie3,
Good on you mate!
Did you happen to have a Spatial Assessment section on your test? I had it as last part of my test. How did it go for you?
Hi Silverdieselcorolla....thanks for the response. I am wondering why this test was added in my case. It was a game changer for me as it was the most difficult one I had so far. Normally Spatial test is included in a generic IQ test but just one or a few questions, but in this case 22 items! Got a headache afterwards. I think if you play chess a lot you will be good at it. Just my 2cents. Good luck to your assessment!

Online Assessment - Outcome
Hi all,
The resulting email was received today:
"Unfortunately your results did not meet the minimum standard required to progress to the next stage of the recruitment process. As a result you have been deemed unsuccessful for the role of Air Traffic Controller in training. "
So I didn't make the cut - and there is no feedback given at this stage.
So without further-a-do, I bid all the other applicants best of luck for the remaining parts of the recruitment process and / or future work within the industry.
I will not be removing my username / profile from "pprune forums", I intend to check in from time to time.
Abbas11: see RuddsD post #2819 about the spatial reasoning test description.
All the best, d0ogie.

I did the online test back in November 2013, and there was definitely a spatial visualisation in there. It was the second last section before the "what would you do" questions.
For me it was the hardest part.
I also got the did not meet requirements email after it.
I'm going to give it another crack at the end of the year.
All I can say with the online assessment, don't do what I did. It says it should take 90 minutes. I felt I had to do it in that time, and so didn't pause between the sections.
As long as you stay logged in, take a couple of minutes between the sections. Some of the sections get you quite wound up.

I agree Barnacle Bill, it's best to let the brain temperature drop a bit after each section of the testing, as once you start a section of the test, the questions just keep on firing at you (in some parts of the test).
Ruth Jones - I'm super hopeful to get into that October course in Brisbane!
I just started new 6 month contract in my current line of work, so an October course date would be a dream come true for me!!
Recently completed the assessment day (finally) and waiting to hear the result.
It was a great experience, definitely not for the faint hearted, or unsure, but totally worth it!

Melbourne in July anyone?
Hey all. Just heard I am in the July 7 tower class. I know some of you have reached out to me and I so appreciate it. Kinda hard believing this is actually happening. Anyways, if anyone else per chance is in the class, please let me know. As of now, all I know is that the table appears to be set for 1.
Oh, and if anyone Melbourne ATCOs are around, feel free to say hi.

Hi all, I just got my Letter of Offer for the en route course starting 2nd June in Melbourne. Is anyone else on here attending the same course or one at a similar time? If yes would you be interested in share housing?

My assessment day was the 12th of March in Melbourne, I was then emailed that my reference check was completed on the 25th of March and that I should go ahead and get an ARN and my CASA Class 3 Medical started. The official Letter of Offer only arrived yesterday on the 17th of April.
Hope that helps

Hi everyone.
Just wondering if anyone has received feedback recently for completed online assessment and testing.
I initially applied in late January and was invited to complete the online test on the 19th March, which i complete a few days later.
I was curious to know if others who had completed the testing at a similar time had received feedback one way or the other.
Do you think it is a reasonable assumption that if I didnt meet the minimum criteria I would have been told that by now?
thanks

TWO QUESTIONS
At YSSY;
"Contact director"
What duties is the director responsible for? Is it a tower position or console gig? Where does this position fit into the sequence of things?
Also many flight call signs have the flight number followed by Alpha or Delta...
eg Q-Link 579D
Or
Velocity 1158A
What does the letter denote?
Cheers
