The clause is "ATCs should not work more than 2 hours without a break but must not exceed 3 hours without a break, except in extraordinary circumstances....". It doesn't specify how long a break should be - 3 x 10 minute breaks between 2 hour stints obeys both rules.
|
The hours worked without a break isn't really an issue, at least in Melbourne Centre - working in excess of two hours is unusual. The numbers have improved but there are still plenty of us in our 50s, so heading out the door sooner rather than later.

I am not sure if there are any "changes" as such to the testing. But the type of questions for each domain MIGHT change. For instance, one could study spatial tests with 3d cubes (because they used these in the test on the applicant's first attempt) only to end up with a different spatial test using rotated shapes, if that makes sense.
If you're not aware already, the tests involve verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, numerical calculations, spatial reasoning and checking tests. On successful completion of this, you will be invited to complete the OPQ (occupational personality questionnaire). To my understanding, you will only go to the assessment centre if you pass both the Online Ability Assessment and OPQ. Feel free to PM me and I'll link you some of the sites I am doing practice tests with. Thanks for the advice, tried to PM you but it won't let me unfortunately.

Hi Guys
I'm on the July en route course and moving over to Melbourne from interstate soon. Would be great to hear from anyone on my course. If anyone is looking for accomodation please let me know. I keep hearing it is a good idea to be with people on course. |
June application
Hi! Anyone else applied in June and was invited for the online assessment? |

So finally sat and completed the online testing tonight. Anyone have any idea how long it took for Airservices to let them know whether they'd passed or failed?
I kept in contact with one person who's been very helpful. She quoted it took 5 weeks for Airservices to update her on the outcome... |
Testing
Hi all,
What we're people's thoughts on the testing? Anyone not yet completed it? |

I completed the online testing and checked on Thursday night - my message had changed to something along the lines of "you have been invited to complete the OPQ testing". When I logged back in on Friday, it had changed back to "Under Review".
I think that maybe with the mix-up with the link and the extension from the Wednesday to the Thursday deadline that there might have been some issue in the internal system. Hoping that we hear something soon! Good luck everyone else |
Hi folks,
I checked online, my application status went from 'Online Testing Completed - under review' to just 'Online Testing Completed'. Anyone know if this is good, bad or nothing important? |
My one was never under review...it has been showing completed with a message saying..."you will be invited to the next stage of Opq's assessment in the next few weeks. Please ensure your email address is updated and correct."
no clues how long gotta wait though ..someone in this thread wrote 5 weeks 😂 |

Does your still say "under review"? I checked mine and it says "online testing completed". Whether this is any indication of passing, I do not know.
This is the same message that I saw on Thursday evening, so hopefully it is an indication of passing, guess we'll see via email. |

Mine also says testing complete and when I view my application there is a message saying I'll be invited to compete the OPQ assessments within the next few weeks.
This is the same message that I saw on Thursday evening, so hopefully it is an indication of passing, guess we'll see via email. My previous application from some years ago states 'Application Outcome', when I view application for that one it states something about reviewing the email they sent me. I am quietly confident it is a good sign. Airservices recruitment seem pretty on the ball with the whole process and maintaining records and if you read the comment it seems pretty clear (verbal reasoning anyone?). Is there anyone on here that has applied who can see something different? |
Thanks but did they just take out the phone interview stage? Or is it still there. Their website doesn't mention anything about the phone interview.
|
They definitely removed the phone interview for the last few rounds of recruitment (instead they had an in person interview on the assessment day in Melbourne).
|
Assessment Centre
No email, but I received a call, brief phone interview and off to the assessment centre at the end of the month. How did everyone else go?
|
Was the call from a private number out of curiosity?

When did you sit the online test? Did you complete the OPQ?

That's interesting that you haven't done the OPQ yet. Is this the 2nd time you've applied and thus completed the OPQ sometime in the past?

Across 2 forums, yours is so far the only report of any feedback or progress after the online testing. So now you've just made everyone even more anxious than they were already :p *goes and checks phone and email another 7 times * |
