congrats! How exciting. That seemed like very short notice but still very exciting for you both! Let’s us how it all goes.

Recruitment question
 

Hey,

I have recently applied and completed the online chat interview around early November, but am still waiting for an email for the Assessment Day.

How long does it usually take for Qantas to let me know if I have passed the online interview and can attend the Assessment day?
If I was not successful on the online chat interview, would they email me back?

I am worried as I have mentioned that I am still a University student, but haven’t mentioned that I am planning stop my studies if I am successful. Would this impact me, as they require a 24/7 availability? And would there be anything I can do about this? I am just worried and overthinking if there’s anything I’ve done wrong so far.
I really hope it doesn’t impact my chances and I hear something good from them soon :(

Any accredited provider. Do a search, there are quite a few.

Be prepared to study hard. There is a lot to learn. GS is no walk in the park, spend your days off studying because a test usually follows and they are not all multiple choice.

thank you

It all depends on the next available Assessment Day. If you didn't do well in the online interview you would have received a rejection email.
I was invited to an AD 24 hours after completing my online, but that was because there was an AD the following week.

AD done and dusted
 

Hi beautiful people, hope youre having a fab Monday! Great news, I did the AD last Wednesday and got my progression email the next day! Yay, I'm over the moon. I've already sent my certificates and completed the Water Competancy on Friday, and my xref references have been completed over the weekend, so just wondering when you guys heard back from them after the Xrefs and re applying for the ASIC?

Hi guys! I did my online questions nearly 2 weeks ago now and still haven’t heard anything. Do you think I would know it’s a ‘no’ by now if I wasn’t going through to an assessment day?

I'm in the same boat. My friend who works for QCCA told me no news is good news, otherwise I would have received a rejection letter...

Hey guys, just wondering when should we receive an email or notification prior to our first day ? With location, time etc 😊 I start GS next Monday (28th Nov).

Security check
 

Hey Watto, did you receive the emails from xref and the security check at the same time? My xref email came but not the workday one for the security check.

Security check
 

Hey 350flyer, how long after receiving the xref email did you recieve the email for the security check?

Hi D, it was a few days later from memory and then a few days after that for the Bodycare link to book a medical.

Fabulous! That puts my mind at rest then. Thank you 🙏

Medical
 

Sorry for posting so many times everyone. I just have one more question. Regarding the medical, I'm a little bit nervous after reading about it on here last night, because I wear glasses, and I also have tinitus in my ears (constant ringing). Does anyone else also have tinitus or wear contacts or glasses and passed? Thanks in advance ♥️

Hi, just curious but does anyone know what the latest ground school start date is thus far?

I received an email with attachments - including course details and schedule - 7 days prior to my start date.

Have you applied for US Visa and received uniform ordering details as yet?

There are so many happening. I have four different classes happening at the facility all started 3 days apart. They are being conducted in Melbourne, Sydney, London, and Abu Dahbi. Apparently they are starting all the time.

Didn't you refuse one recently?

Couldn't agree more TrolleyD...Ground School is hard, both physically and mentally. It requires a lot of after class study to stay on top.

Hi all and congratulations to all of have started GS. How long after submitting your medical questionnaire and preferred dates for medical do you wait for the Medical. I submitted everything but heard nothing as yet.

They confirmed on the day of payment my appointment for 4 days later

Hi Debbie,
You take the eye test without glasses, then with glasses.
Hearing test is in a separate room with both wired ear plugs covered over with a headset. Just listen carefully for the beeps and respond when you hear them.

oh wow thats crazy with so much happening! afaik, i think early January also have the same situation with lots of training. And yes TA have been very helpful with my application ☺️ Just wanted to touch base on how far along these ground schools have been progressing as it seems very hectic at the moment! All the best with training, can’t wait to hear about your experiences!

Thank you Intellisis, that's very reasurring!

Ground school
 

hi! Ive received a call and been offered ground school on January 8 in Abu dhabi. Still awaiting contract prior to resigning!

anyone in the same boat?

Hi Paradise,
Discussing it with others at GS it seems certain components are different depending on where you have the assessment.
Some had to do 15 push ups and 15 sit ups, whereas some of us didn't.
What hasn't varied are the muscular-skeletal function tests, coordination tests, dexterity, and lifting weights.
There is also a blood pressure check and the 3 minute step test is to measure heart rate...I suggest for these two you don't drink coffee prior to the assessment.
Side planks and squats are also involved as is vision and hearing tests.
Good luck with it. If I passed it, anyone can :)

I got the call yesterday and have been offered Jan 8th in Abu Dhabi as well!

hi millsdeqndra,

does Qantas wait until you’ve received your asic clearance before they offer you ground school

thanks

Hi. I start GS in Sydney on 4th January.

Hi all, I have my medical tomorrow. Does anyone know if with sit up exercise can you use feet support as I'm hopeless at doing them without. I'm scared I'll fail that part

wow! How exciting!
Congrats! Hope they send us contracts soon!

hey! Yes, once that is cleared you’re all set :) then medicals and certificates

Hi guys! Do you think there is any benefit from emailing TA and asking for an update in regards to your online questions? Or do you think that would be a detriment to my application? I did it at the start of November and I’m hoping the silence is good news!

hi!
have they finally sent you the contract?

its been a week for me including the weekends!
but ive got a month notice but wanting to resign already

Hi,

Congratulations to all who received golden calls :)
I was wondering how long after you guys received the golden calls after your medicals.
I have submitted for ID check on 22/10/22 and the 3 certificates and done my medical on 04/11/22 however I have not heard anything back from Qantas.
I am worried if I am successful for the medical..
If you guys can let me know the time period of receiving golden calls after medicals that would be great!
Also, I was told that it will take up to 6 to 8 weeks for the ID check, is this true?

Hi. The time-lines seem to vary a lot. I did my medical on 9th Nov, and received the golden call on 14th Nov. I submitted my security/ID check on 19th Sep and it took 8 weeks for approval.

Hi everyone, I received my medical questionairre today, and had to tick that I'd had anaemia in the past (which is resolved now and was diet related). I'm getting the clarification form filled out by my gp tomorrow, but I'm wondering if anyone else had something on the medical questionairre but still got progressed?

Also, has it happened to anyone that they were asked for their certificates, xref and medical before receiving the email asking them to do the security clearance? I reminded them twice that I haven't yet received that email, but they still haven't sent it.

Thank you! Seems like I need to wait for the ID security check is done. But I am worried so much if I am unsuccessful for the medical.. :(

Do we get notified of the outcome of our medicals via email?

We don’t get any notifications of the outcome! However you can call bodycare to check if they have already sent the report to Qantas TA. Bodycare will not disclose the outcome to you, only Qantas knows if you pass the medical or not.

If it’s been a while (more than a month) after you submitted everything and completed your medical, it’s good to contact TA to touch base.
