Hi there, it's for gateline assistant.I'm expecting it will probably be h&s, first aid and fire and then job specific, was wondering if there are exams involved?

Hi Camsea,

I just recently finished a 5 week course for Conductor at Atrium court.
First week is Induction with the things you said before then your training
which may involve commercial if your selling tickets, this is a week long part
on Ticket selling, ticket types, concession cards and such. There are no tests
but there are assessments along every stage to judge how you are doing,
there is no pass or fail but everything is kept and filed. You will be continually
monitored from the minute you walk in the door, so best behaviour and always
be well dressed, clean shaved (if your a guy) and don't be an Idiot and you'll
do well. I thoroughly enjoyed it as its done in a very jovial light atmosphere and
the instructors are all great.

Good luck.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply - agree with you on how you present yourself at these things. Can't wait to get started. Pretty sure mines is 3 weeks training for the gateline role. Congratulations on your conductor role, where are you based?

I'll be based at queen street, best of luck in your new role! Do you know when the next pay date is? Trying to work out if I'll need to budget when I leave my current employer. Roll on Monday!

Only downside is if your local to atrium you don't get out up in the hotel hahaha

It's not as bad as people make out, the induction stuff is very enjoyable. Trainers are funny and accommodating. They do require you in business attire that's probably the only downside.
