Aptitude battery: GAN

This JATC uses the GAN Aptitude Test Battery, a different test: reading, numerical computation, numerical reasoning, paper folding, problem solving and mechanical comprehension. It is not the two-section electrical training ALLIANCE test, and preparing only for algebra and reading will leave you short.

Application window
Applications are accepted online. A non-refundable $75.00 application fee is paid at the time of application by debit or credit card; documented hardship cases may be considered for a waiver case by case. All applicants have only 60 days from the date of application to furnish the JATC all pertinent documentation.
Testing frequency
The JATC office will administer the GAN aptitude test at specific dates and times to be announced as scheduled. If the applicant is non-responsive to the test date and time scheduled, the application will be considered null and void and will be cancelled. You receive an email from GAN Human Resources within 3 to 5 weeks of a completed application to fill in the Personal Experience Form.
Score threshold
Not published by this JATC. All applicants completing the Personal Experience Form and the Aptitude Test are placed on the Eligibility List in ranking order; at least 10% more applicants than will be selected are interviewed, then re-ranked on interview score.
Retake wait
Not published by this JATC — confirm the current rule with the training center.
