Air Service Australia - Trainee Air Traffic Controller

Posted by BarDramatic9906@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 4 comments

Hello,

I'm based in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm interested in becoming an air traffic controller. I'm currently in my first year of my bachelors (two years left) and found that it might not be for me. However, I still want to finish the degree then apply as a trainee air traffic controller with air service Australia.

For those that have applied, how long does the application process take to get approved? I heard that upon applying, it can take months to even enter and start the actual training program. I would like get a rough idea how long, so I know when to apply that allows me to start right after finishing my degree.

Thank you.
