Squigels, I also received an invitation for the virtual assessment centre - Very excited to move onto this stage of the application process. Might see you (virtually) there!

I also received an invite to the virtual assessment centre for next week. Good luck Squigels!

The afternoon sessions filled up quickly!

I'll be attending the morning session on September 29th if anyone else here chose the same time.
Good luck everyone ☺️

I am also down for a morning session on the 29th. That was the only session I could make work around my current work commitments. Good luck everyone! :)

Good luck to everyone who was invited to Assessment Centre sessions this week, as well as anyone who is invited in the future!
​​​​​​ Regardless of the outcome it's been an honour to make it this far and meet others passionate about pursuing the same career.

Had my assessment day this afternoon - Felt like that actually went quite well! I hope you guys had a good experience with it. Hopefully we make it through :ok:

I'm a bit anxious about my anecdotes in the individual interview. Haven't had much experience in any stressful situations working solely in retail my life so far.
Found the other aspects of the day much more enjoyable and confident I did reasonably well.

Hey everyone with the advertisement for trainee ATC.. It says you need to have completed secondary study but it doesnt say that it has to be done in the last 10 yrs.. but on the FAQ it says completed something in the last 10 yrs? Does anyone know if that is the case? Any help would be great.. thanks..

Hey Kavorka, on the website it says this on the ATC trainee page:You must be able to provide evidence that you have obtained ONE of the following requirements in the past 10 years:

• a Year 12 Certificate
• a completed Tertiary Diploma
• a completed Degree
• a current Commercial Pilot Licence or Private Pilot Licence.

AKA this link here: http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/...aining-program

This one is a bit more comprehensive than the link provided in the job ad - I think so long as you have finished year 12, but have a further qualification gained within the past 10 years, you meet the requirements. I hope this helps!

You know though, you always perform better than you think you do in interviews. Fingers crossed for good news this week!

Great thanks so much.. after a bit more research i found that and confirmed it.. ive completed a tertiary degree 2 yrs ago so will see how we go..

Got the phone call from the National Recruitment Manager this afternoon notifying that my references will be contacted shortly. Anybody else at this stage?

Congratulations! I'm also sending through references, can't imagine what may result in being unsuccessful after making it this far but we'll have to wait and see.
Which stream were you choosing as a preference? En route or Tower?

Congratulations to those who made it through. I also received the call and my references were contacted yesterday. My preference was Tower stream, but I'd honestly be happy with either.

References also contacted yesterday. Now that we're at the pointy end, things seem to be picking up speed.

It was a difficult decision, but I preferenced en route. Similarly, I would be happy with either.

Congrats guys! That's brilliant news. I got an email yesterday to say they are still reviewing my assessment day group - hopefully might still get some good news next week!

Hi guys and girls, I received a call today to confirm a starting date for the 6th of December 2021 for en route. Hoping good news also comes your way soon!

Got my verbal offer today for the en route course starting on 6th December (subject to a Class 3 Medical of course). Anybody else joining me at the Academy?

That's great to hear guys! I had a missed call today so hopefully I find out some good news tomorrow. Congratulations!

I got my verbal offer over the phone yesterday too, ENR course starting December 6.

Good to see a few others joining me too!
