oooh, good tip, unfortunately neither was multiple choice you had to type in the answer.

Just got the invitation yesterday after a 2 month wait, good luck to all attending!

Hi, can anyone give some tips and tricks for the assessment centre, not quite sure what the group tasks are or even the individual ones? Makes me really confused and don't know what to expect.. (dm me if you want) thanks!

Yeah my wait was that long too. Guessing you did the interrupt test before Christmas also? And are you attending Brisbane AC or have they done invitation for other locations also.

Second part of the radar test was multiple choice though. Number pad keys were to remove aircraft and the letter keys were selecting multiple choice answers to the maths questions

was it? my mistake.
Has anyone been through A/C in Melbourne?

Just applied last night, and got the link to the practice tests - it directs me to the SHL website - are they still doing SHL testing?

Assessment Centre
 

Hi,

Has anyone who recently been to the assessment centre have any tips on what to expect? I hear there is a group assessment and then an interview? Is this similar to your experience? I also was asked to obtain a medical before my assessment centre day, anyone else had this? Feeling extra nervous now im towards the last steps of getting in!

The SHL testings are just practice, there is no offical SHL test :)

If they check your resume and want to give you a shot, you will receive an email of some online tests. These are challenging, but for good reason.

Then, if lucky, you will do an interrupt test over zoom - nice and fun but testing how well you can do two things at once.

Then I am in uncharted territory! you have a date to select an assessment centre and go from there! Good luck with your application!

That is interesting they asked you to do a medical beforehand. Did you get a call form Holly and express interest in the New Zealand tower course? Perhaps they want people considering that one to be ready to go, as it starts in May. If not than that seems odd to do the medical now.

Hmm... So the practice tests they give you are nothing like the actual tests? I only applied in the last week and a half, and i still am waiting for them to send me the tests

A/C Brisbane Mid March
 

Got a confirmation of attending the A/C session in Brisbane next week. Might see you there cerulean 🙂 good luck everyone.

I’ll see you there. Would love to know everyone’s timeline of getting there cause mine felt quite short! I did the initial testing on 22/2. Interrupt test on 5/3 and now A/C for the 13/3. Cheers guys and goodluck!

I have done the domain test and the interrupt test and I may be able to help you rather than you wasting your time with the SHL test. DM me if you want.

Wow that's really quick! My timeline so far:
02/11/2024 - Completed Application
27/11/2024 - Sent Round 1 Testing
30/11/2024 - Completed Round 1 Testing

09/12/2024 - Invited to Interrupt Test
11/12/2024 - Undertook Interrupt Test
12/12/2024 - Placed on Hold Pending Assessment Centre

06/02/2025 - Invited To Assessment Centre

oh wow, 2 months wait to get the invite for the assessment centre. I passed the interrupt this week and was also put on hold for the assessment centre, i guess id be waiting for a while

Brisbane AC's postponed due to Cyclone Alfred. Now being held first week of April

🙃

At least youve got a confirmed date haha, you given thought to whether youll pick tower or enroute

I have already preferenced Tower as they are looking to run a tower course in NZ in May. They did a trial last year of outsourcing the training you can read about here. A few weeks ago, they asked current applicants waiting for an AC for expressions of interest in the NZ course, as it would be a short turnaround between the AC's and the start of the course.

oh yea, i wouldnt mind that actually, dont know if i get go to NZ as an Aussie PR not citizen tho. But it does show they do plan on recruiting a fair number of atcs which helps our chances.
but damn man, ive only waited a week since i passed the interrupt and got placed on hold but it feels like ive been waiting ages
