Goodluck to all those applying or still under training. Everything in SAA is the honeymoon period. OJT is where things start to get real and challenging. Can range from minimum 3 months up to a year (maybe less now) before termination. So have to be on your toes all the time.
Pay wise you get your basic salary during SAA training and OJT. After being rated, you get additional % operational allowance. The withheld bonuses during the training period will be given after you get rated (ie. Passed OJT and all the necessary checks). Can be quite a decent sum.
Just remember ATC is not all fun and games. It's a serious job so don't join for the "glamour" (if any).
Cheers.

but my application was as followed:
Applied during job fair in mid-Feb 2017
Received email to go for aptitude test during mid-Mar
Go for the test on 28 Mar
Received call to go for 1st round of interview on 2nd wk of Apr
Interestingly, my application status online is still shortlisted.

Just throwing it out there what I know and what I feel.
Yes, there is not much information on the application process. However information about the role is aplenty. Online and here.
What I know:
Getting selected to go for an aptitude test is based on qualifications. Getting selected for an interview or even for the role is only loosely based on the results of the aptitude test.
What I feel:
I feel that having strong results for the aptitude test does not give an applicant a stronger edge. In times when there is a shortfall, they'd just shortlist and select you despite your mediocre score. When there is a surplus of applicants, they start profiling applicants. If you fit their profile you get in. It is not "all walks of life". I feel that there are those who do better in the tests not getting in, because they do not fit their profiling.

thanks for sharing your insights @editor and @imnotatc. its good to be hearing more opinions about this role. @editor are you currently an applicant or are you already an atco? im just trying this role out for a change of job environment and hopefully better job security. from reading prior posts understand that things are kept quite under wraps. i guess its understandable given the position. if im not wrong those that are currently going for the aptitude/personality/1st interview/2nd interview/healthcheckups are scheduled to for the feb/march 2018 batch?

I too went for the aptitude test early this month, I think now we're waiting for all the applicants to do their aptitude/personality tests, only then that the HR (christina i presume) will process the "data" and start shortlisting from there. I guess we're all playing the waiting game until we hear from them!

You risk being ripped off and because it's illegal you have little protection.
