YVR ATC Courses

Post by ff09727 »

Hello all, I have just stumbled upon this site, lots of great information, thank-you.
I have embarked on the recruitment process for YVR and am currently awaiting a 2nd interview in YVR, is anyone else currently waiting as well?
Any information on course rumors, time lines, size etc?
Look forward to reading and understanding more about this exciting career

Hiya,

Almost finished the current YVR VFR course... Are you going for IFR or VFR?

Cheers,

Wolfie

I'm in the same situation... Awaiting 2nd interview.
When did you write your assessment exams? I wrote back in October '09 in Vancouver.

Cheers!

Welcome to the site.

I'm in the company already as an FSS. I accepted the cross-training option back when they were trying to "thin the herd" with the LOS review. I did my testing at YVR, and was told I passed the exams and I didn't need to do an interview and that my offer would be arriving shortly. It's been about 6 months. There was rumor that I was going to be selected for the spring course, but that has been effectively cancelled.

I have been told by my manager that he has aproved me for the cross-training, but I won't be leaving until after summer. There's no word on who's on the fall course yet, as far as I know.

Well that is certainly not the information I was hoping for, wonder why they decided to hold another written assessment in January then :rolleyes:
Floaty, what program are you being considered for?

Got the word via e-mail today
"Unfortunately due to operational requirements, the remaining Vancouver courses for this fiscal year have been cancelled. Currently we do not have the schedule for next (fiscal) year so you can rest easy, at least until September 1st which is when the new schedule would begin."
They also added the always popular, "It is important to note that this process in highly competitive and only the highest scoring individuals will be contacted for an interview."

From what I've heard the above is also true for YYZ.
