r/ATC_Hiring

Has anyone received next step instructions after receiving and accepting their TOL? Anybody schedule their MMPI already or anything like that? Just sent my acceptance last night and I'm super excited, just not sure exactly what I should be looking for now and when I could possibly expect it.

What a test. Felt like I did very well on the first four sections, only had a total of 5 collisions through both of my radar simulations. Reading and logic rocked my world, but I also consistently thought I did bad on those on 123ATC, but did well.. I literally have no clue where I stand.

I’ll update y’all after I get my results! Hoping for at least WQ. Good luck to everyone else still waiting to take it!

I'm sure a lot of us are in the same position. Got a WQ and wondering if because the amount of people who were allowed to apply and take the ATSA was smaller this year that the WQ will probably get a TOL based on what some of us have heard when calling in for our test results.

I know that we probably won't hear until the testing dates end on the 20th. But if you have gotten a WQ like myself and are looking for the first person to get a TOL, because you’re curious, if you will get one, please post it here if you receive yours.

I figured if we all start posting our WQ TOL’s on this one post when/if they start coming in, we can all see it in one place and cut down on the chaos of multiple posts about the same thing on this thread. It will either give everyone in the same boat good news, bad news, or at least some clarity all in one place.

If you could post your date you took ATSA and date received TOL.

Thanks and good luck to everyone.

I just finished the test in less than 2 hours. A bit worried on the collision and math section, along with being mad at myself for missing one question on the deductive logic section. Overall, I feel like I bombed it.

Phases? Pass/fail flags per session? Instructor hours tracked by the team leader? Position or sector differentiation? Predefined challenges in the training plan - wx events like TS or TCU on final, icing, turbulence, or procedural stuff like rwy change, inspection, holds?
Been through a few OJTs across different units and facilities. The backbone was always similar but the details varied more than you’d expect - what got logged, how instructor feedback was recorded, whether anyone actually reviewed it before the next session or just filed it somewhere.
Curious how it looks elsewhere, and also I’m building a training log app specifically for OJT. Not trying to reinvent the whole training system, just fix the part where you’re either scribbling on paper or half-filling an Excel sheet that nobody touches again. Session notes, challenge flags, instructor tracking, phase progression - stuff that’s actually useful during the OJT, not just at the end when you’re signing off paperwork.
Still early, so the more I hear from people who’ve actually been through it, the better. If your setup is totally different from what I described, that’s just as useful to know.

I took my ATSA last Friday, the 8th/ called for my results and they told me I got WQ/ but when I tracked my application today, it says I scored BQ. Since now it’s a higher chance of me getting a TOL. How long will it be for them to give me a TOL?

I just took the exam took me about 2 hours to complete with one five minute break. I will say use 123atc to prep for it and it does help alot. Not sure when I will get my score I think i got qualified but not well qualified. I will update this once I get my score.

For whatever reason the spatial awareness section is KILLING me 😭 struggling to get above 60% on the practice tests. I don’t take the actual until the 18th so I still have time to practice but man, this is getting discouraging lol

Took my exam today. Felt like I could be in the qualified position at minimum. I did have some collisions, and I’m sure I missed some questions in the reading part. I didn’t even fully finish the 3rd section but I don’t know, I feel like it could go both ways for me. Did you guys experience similar things

When I got my tol I was pretty amazed at the amount I was wondering if that included food and housing as well!

Overall I felt like I did good on the test, I was 3 days in to a bad fever and congested but I went in and felt like I did good on the first 2 sections. The spacial awareness is where I messed up the software I studied on bad the right or left statement on top but the test had it on the bottom so I messed up there. Besides that I had 3 collisions max and answered the math the best I could. the psychological evaluation was the hardest part for me I second guest a lot of my answers. Everything else was good. I called today and got qualified so I won’t get the letter unfortunately. Might try next year

I just got a TOL that I plan on declining for this year, I plan to re-apply next year and accept the TOL then (I am BQ so I assume I can get another offer?). I want to graduate college in December of 2027. Do you think my academy start date would before or after that? I know there are a lot of jokes about how long this process takes to move within the FAA, but it seems like they are moving way faster this year than any years prior. I took the test on Wednesday and received my TOL today. I really wish it would take long enough for me to not have to start the academy before my graduation date, otherwise delaying for college would just be a moot point.

**Disclaimer: I have not taken the test yet, so take what I say with a grain of salt** (But I have taken it twice before)

Man oh man, was I surprised with 123ATC!!! It is better than Job Test Prep, but FREE!! If you created this and are in this sub, thank you thank you thank you!! For those of y'all that still need to take the test, I highly recommend going on there and taking a look!! It allows full screen mode, which is great for mitigating distractions, and has a realistic spacial awareness section (JTP has the planes right next to each other, the real test does not). On the collision section, it also has all of the dots coming in a once, just like the exam. JTP does not; the planes come in waves. Also, for the Logical Reasoning section, I like that the questions are mixed up and that there are different topics in each test (Syllogism, logical tests, lines, etc.). Take a look, you won't be disappointed!!

I took my ATSA on 5/2 and I was truly surprised to see that I placed BQ! What do we think the timeline looks like on receiving a TOL? I’ve seen some people receive theirs already and others are still waiting..

I was on hold for 1 hr and 5 minutes still no answer.

Finally, I received the results for the ATSA Exam.

This morning, I called the number earlier today. I was extremely anxious, but thankfully, I was told that I scored "Well-Qualified". I was informed that I will most likely receive the TOL soon. For those who are curious, when I took the test, it was on April 20th. I'm afraid, yet excited for what's to come. I guess I'm awaiting further orders.

I feel like I see more people report bq than anything else.

5/4 Test Results

I wasn’t actively checking the website, so I honestly forgot to keep looking, but I just received my TOL by email. I checked the site afterward and saw that I was marked Best Qualified, which honestly surprised me because I thought I didn’t do that well.

Did anyone else test on or around 5/4 and get their results/TOL yet?

Wishing everybody the best of luck!
