Same here. I felt my chances were reasonably ok-ish until the radar screen with maths. Lets see how it plays out. Good luck everyone!

Online Interview
 

Have only just stumbled across this thread. I applied for the most recent intake and was advised by email on Wednesday (August 18) that I had passed the tests and can now complete an Online Interview.
Just responses to pre-recorded audio, anyone else at this stage? I'm expecting they might not be inviting people to Melbourne this time round unless offered a position? I was invited to attend an interview in Melbourne in March last year but it was cancelled due to Covid, unsure how essential it would be to invite applicants to Vic to determine they're suited.

Also received the video interview email, fingers crossed to hear some good news in a few days time. It seems they might be doing the entire recruitment process online now due to COVID, although I'd much prefer to attend an in-person interview compared to recording answers on a computer.

Did you do those 3 test on August 15th as well?

Yeah I completed all 3 suites of testing prior

Squigels, or any else finished video interview stage, have you heard anything from ASA yet?

Nothing yet, I've read that they usually have about 50-100 people that would have normally attended a day at the assessment centre in a given intake. I'm expecting that at least 50-100 people would have been invited to do online interviews and it may take quite some days, if not a few weeks, to get through them all. Fingers crossed we hear back with a verdict in the coming days but wouldn't hold my breathe.

I have completed the video interviews and just hanging out. The further I get into the process the more excited I get, and to say I'm excited is an understatement. I am quite patient and don't mind waiting though being already employed in Aviation.

Exactly how I feel, the further we go into the process the more optimistic I become, need to remind myself every now and again that the chances are always against me until I (hopefully) get an offer.
Hopefully the COVID situation hasn't had too harsh of an impact upon the recruitment team down in Melbourne and we can hear back from them soon.

Not to get anyone’s hopes up but there are well over 100 ATCs taking up offers of early retirement over the next year or so. Just about all of these positions will have to be filled again within the next couple years.

Assuming nobody else has heard anything yet?

Nothing yet here

Hi all! I've been following this thread for a few years now and applied in this recruitment campaign. Got an email this afternoon to say I have made it through to the online video interviews. I presume given some of you have already completed this, that they are batching the interviews in groups. Fingers crossed for us all!

Best of luck with the video interview. It's pretty similar to really any interview on behavioural experiences in the workplace so don't stress too much about the specifics of the role. With that batching interviews into groups, it might mean we don't hear a final result for quite some time then

Thank you! That's relieving to hear. I think that might be the case with the interviews - Hopefully that works in our favour!

When I first applied in November 2018 I didn't receive a call after the testing until March 2019. I saw on some other forums that people were offered positions in that period so hopefully we won't have to wait for too many batches before we at least have a verdict of successful or not.

I created an account just so I could let you guys know that I just received an email today from air services that I didn't make it to the online interviews after completing the latest aptitude tests. So for everyone else out there who is still waiting for a reply you might still be in it to win it!

It's been quite the ride following this thread.

Good luck everyone!

Oh no! I have a couple of friends that got that email yesterday too..

Just did my video interview then - I think it went well, but will see what happens! I wonder if they are considering doing the assessment centre still in BNE - Just re-read the application and it does say we could still expect an assessment day after the video interview

Does anyone know is the 2 attempts rule still applies to the ATC trainee applications?

They used to state on the website that you are only permitted to apply twice before being barred forever but I cannot find mention of this anywhere now.

When I checked the website the other day it still stipulated you can only apply twice.

Was fortunate enough to receive an email today inviting me to the assessment centre early next week, just a virtual "tour" with some different tests/activities to complete.
Anybody else invited at this stage? It will be exciting to finally communicate with Air Services directly and meet some of the others passionate about pursuing this career.

Hi all, I also got the assessment centre invite today. Does anybody know if this is the first time they're doing virtual assessment centres?

mikewil, as Squigels says it's still limited to twice:

"You can only apply for this position twice, so if your first application is unsuccessful you can only apply one more time. Once your application is submitted it will be counted as one attempt."

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!
