My reference checks have been done and now I am undergoing final approvals, anyone else up to this stage? I was told in a few weeks I should expect a reply if I have made it through or not (it has been 2 weeks since I was told this).

Anyone heard back if they have passed final approvals yet?

Hey Seiran I'm in the exact same boat - email 2 weeks ago with the same message. I'm hoping it's a good thing and I'm not just building up for a big let down!

Just wondering if anyone who completed their phone interview around the same time has had confirmation of the dates for available Assessment Centres?
Hi Remington

Can you confirm when you submitted your application. I just passed the OPQ a couple of weeks ago and received an email saying phone interviews were being scheduled but have not heard back since.

Cheers

Hey Pineapple,

I was told from a HR lady that it is rare for anyone to be refused at this point.

I'm hoping I'm not a rarity!

Don't stress guys, think I was in that boat for about 3 months... This was partially my own fault as they wanted to see if they could put me in an earlier course...

This is still just testing your patience. lol still more to come.... Casa is so behind in medicals that you will be waiting at least 2 months for it to be issued

Hey Liz I was in the same assessment day as you - without putting my name out there I was the other girl. Have you heard from/about the others at all?

I'm also in the same boat patiently waiting to hear whether my references got me through. Although I have heard that there are no more places on any courses for the rest of this year, so it looks like it's going to be a little wait regardless of when we hear back.

Did any of you guys do the March 17th assessment day?

Hey pineapples! Congrats on making it this far. From what I understand we have done very well! No news from anyone else so far...

Pineapples and MissLiz,

Were you both at the March Assessment Day in Brisbane on the 2nd of March? I was at that day and have also been sitting at the "final approval" stage for the last two and a bit weeks.

Other than the assessment day(s) in Melbourne in March, does anyone know whether there have been any more since?

Cheers,
B.

Congrats Pineapple,

Glad to hear your onto the medical... just spoke with some of the staff in the office and they are so far behind its not funny!!!

I know of one case that is still ongoing with complications and has been for the last 6 months. There us at least 2 others i know that have been waiting since early April for their medical..... so no time to wait!

Congratulations pineapples, that's wonderful news!

JC91 - I haven't heard anything yet either and I am also curious as to whether anyone else has been offered a place.

Also, does anyone know whether placements are still currently for Brisbane in October?

All the best to everyone!

Cheers,
B.

Hi Guys,

I am still waiting after the final approvals email a month ago as well. Is that the last contact you have had too?

At least we know it is a long wait, thanks to this forum!

Cheers

I'm a tower kid through and through, love it. It all happens super quick and you spend your day at work effectively plane spotting. From what I've heard there is a longer wait for a tower course compared to enroute though?...

Congrats on getting through, it's one of the most rewarding and satisfying jobs you'll ever find!
