That's what it sounds like. Good luck!

Yeah so far no mention of the Interrupt Test, but it could also be held at the Assessment Centre day

Sounds like they have gone from half to full day so that seems probable.

Assessment Centre
 

Hi everyone, new to this forum. I'm due for an assessment centre session soon. Could anyone shed any light on what the group and single tests are like? Any information that would help with mental prep would be much appreciated!

Sorry, I don't, but I wanted to ask if you've already had your screening call?

I have. The caller was very friendly and the atmosphere of the call was very relaxed; infact it was so relaxed I didn't even know it was the screening call at the time. I only found out about the screening call a few days ago from this forum, at which point I had already done mine.

Is there a difference in difficulty between the different assessment centers?

Hey mate, as many others have said AsA doesn't really want you to prepare for the assessment day. If anything there's a chance it could negatively effect your performance if you have an expectation of something and it's not exactly how you planned. Generally the tests and sims aren't too disimilar to what you've already done online.

Go in with an open and relaxed mindset and you should be sweet. There's plenty of break times in between the sessions so you get time to reset and get ready for the next one. Each person will have their own schedule and order of what they do on the day so you know what is up next.

Might sound like a wierd question, but are the tests still purely tests of mental capability? What I'm trying to ask is if there are any new machines/equipment that you need to quickly learn to use in order to complete the tests?

Nah everything is done on a comupter, the only time you are actually using a computer is to do a couple tests that you would have already done online. Just to make sure you were the one who did them. Otherwise for anything else the assessor runs the computer/sim to test your mental ability. You get practice runs like the online testing to get you familiar.

Hey Guys,

Looking to apply for my 2nd attempt - but noticed at the moment they only have a job advert for WA Tower postings. Does this mean Bris/Melb are saturated? or do they just advertise in waves fordifferent postings at different times?

Happy NY to all!

I'm guessing the normal application window ended in Dec '25 and they've only just returned back to office today so most likely they'll repost it in a week or two.

Hey all!

Is there anyone here who has received an offer to start sometime in March 2026? Just thought I'd reach out to my future course mates and get in touch.

And just to check, have you heard anything from ASA regarding the actual start date or have you received an official written offer yet?

Let me know.

Cheers.

Hey mate, I'm doing en-route starting around March/April. And yep still waiting on a confirmation, on my phone call they did say in Jan they will know an official start date. I'm going to give them until end of next week until I reach out haha. Would assume that they're only back this week after holidays.

Yeah I'm waiting for the phone call to schedule my assessment day, was hoping to hear something this week but after the holidays you never know.

I have a private message request but it says it's restricted - does anyone know a fix for this?

I believe you need three posts before you can see private messages.

In that case is anyone else going to the assessment centre on the 19th? Looking for someone to share a taxi ride to and back from the facilities.

I don't have my assessment scheduled yet, but do you happen to know what cohort you're in?
