I got this email from HR concerning the application process and waiting Period. It might be BS but i see alot of post on here where everyone wants to know how long it will be before you actually are invited to PEPC.. hope this helps!!!!!!!!!
I apologize for not answering your e-mail earlier; we are currently experiencing an overwhelming number of e-mails and phone calls.
We must evaluate all applications to determine if work experience/college meets the minimum qualification. If you met the qualifications, you will receive an e-mail from RVA setting a date/time/location to take the ATSAT test. After the ATSAT test, if you pass with a 70% or higher, you will then be given a chance to select 2 states as your geographical preference and whether you want En Route or Terminal or whichever comes available first. We then create referral lists for a selection panel that will make tentative selections for that announcement. Once that has been completed, if you were selected, you will be contacted with a tentative offer letter that will give you the location that you have been selected for and it will give you information on the paperwork that needs to be completed. Our contractor’s will then scheduled you for an interview and to attend a Pre-Employment Processing Center (PEPC) for your medical and security. The first part dealing with the evaluating and getting scheduled for the ATSAT test, could take up to 6 to 8 weeks after the close of the application that you applied for. The second part dealing with the selection panel, if you are selected you should be contacted within 6 weeks after the panel completes their selections to get you set up with a date/time/location for the PEPC. Then the last part, after passing all the required examines, it could take up to several months before we could get you scheduled into an academy class, or it could be within a couple of weeks. This depends upon the number of classes that we have scheduled and whether or not they have been filled.
If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thank you,
