Congrats to those through to ground schools!

I'm in the ADL talent pool .. Just wondering if those that applied for ADL this year have had AD days yet?

Good luck if not!! :)

Hi francescamaria, the AD days were last week! When was your AD and how long have you been in the talent pool?

Hello, thanks, mine was in August 2016! Yay fingers crossed the ball starts rolling now! Hope your AD day went well :)

Hiya guys.Got email today after my reference check 3 weeks ago.I have made ot to the talent pool.The email said recruitment team waiting for confirmation on training dates.As soon as they hear that then im off to do medicals and final review.Anybody else heard anything?This is for AKLD base.

Congrats Pacific Blue Gal!

Did anyone else go to the AD in Sydney yesterday morning? So nervous waiting to hear back.

Hey CaitlinMaree92, see you at SYD ground school. I've been reading the forums until I got confirmation of my ground school offer today!

For everyone else, just remember it's a long process and try to do your current job as normal. Just to give you an idea, I applied in February! No news is good news.

Hi all,

Unfortunately I didn't make it past the AD stage for ADL base this time round, but got feedback to say just need some more experience (I'm only 19). But to all of you who have been successful, all the best and I hope you make it to a GS soon!!! so excited for you all

Perth
 

Hi all!!
I applied for AD In march - attended April 19th
2 days later passed my online test> 2 weeks later had reference checks > 2 weeks later had my swimming competency and made the talent pool. I've been in the talent pool since may 17th (so 4 weeks roughly)

Does anyone know how often they run ground schools ? There's one July 4th but it's full so im praying that there's one soon! I've heard some people can wait up to a year 😳😳

Perth VARA
 

Hi all!
I had my AD April 19th
Passed assessment day 2 days later
2 weeks later reference checks
2 weeks later swimming comp then talent pool a few days later.

I've been in the VARA talent pool since May 17th so almost a month. I've heard there's a ground school starting July 4th but it's full

Does anyone know when the next one will be?
I've heard people can wait such a long time!

I'm sorry to hear that but that's really positive feedback and you definitely have plenty of time to gain more experience ! Oh to be 19! :) wishing you the best of luck for next time xxx

That sounds awesome Clay!! :-)
Does anyone know what the pass mark is for the online test? I got really nervous so I don't think I did as well as I should have.

Congrats Clay.You will be flying soon :)) Any idea when is the next ground school in Auckland?

Thanks so much francescamaria! :) Ill be here again this time next year hopefully with different outcome!
