Based in Canberra, Assessment Services Pty Limited or ASL as it is more commonly known, has been providing flight crew exam services to the Australian aviation industry for nearly 10 years. ASL is a private Australian company that provides flight crew exam services under contract to CASA.

ASL is part of the wider ASPEQ Group (www.aspeq.com), a global provider of aviation assessment services to National Aviation Authorities (NAAs). ASPEQ has been providing aviation assessment services in Australasia for nearly twenty years and has used this experience to expand into Asia, the Middle East and Europe. ASPEQ provides computer exam services to CAA Singapore and the Macau and Mauritius Aviation Authorities. ASPEQ is also working with NAAs in the Middle East and the CAA UK.

ASL delivers CASA's flight crew exams throughout Australia, which means that they provide the technological infrastructure to access CASA's inventory of exams. ASL provide the online system for booking and payment and they have modelled the process on booking a flight online. Basically, candidates can book a seat in an exam centre up to a few hours prior to the sitting (as long as there are seats available), print off their booking confirmation and turn up at the centre with the appropriate photo ID to sit the exam. This flexibility enables candidates to determine when they are ready to sit their exams.

Exams are delivered through the Australia-wide network of 29 centres (see map). ASL have endeavoured to provide good access for candidates and RTOs to the computer exam services - often in quite remote places such as Karratha, Alice Springs and Nhulunbuy.

The Canberra office provides a help desk for candidates and RTOs. They aim to work with the aviation industry to provide a convenient service that can be accessed throughout the country and our friendly help desk staff are always happy to assist if any issues should occur. ASL also work with RTOs to coordinate exam scheduling with the completion of theory training.

Another service provided by ASL is the aviation language testing for pilots. This service was introduced to meet the requirements of the ICAO language proficiency standard which will be mandatory for pilots flying international routes from March 2011. ASL is one of a few organisations approved to provide the testing service and it is delivered through their extensive network in Australia.
