The AMC response will not be immediate as they will have to filter through the lists and probably look to see who best matches up with their requirements. Those selected will probably have to be trained in AMC methods and processes too so it will all add to the time before future AR assessments can take place.
I understand that the Deed between the AMC and ACMA has now been signed but some Delegations have to be put in place before they can actually manage the licensing activities.
The good news about it is that something is happening !!!
Hopefully we will be kept in touch with their progress so that more is known about how, when, where and how much things will cost with this new arrangement.

When the Commonwealth changes providers, such as is being done here, there is always a lag as the new provider comes up to speed. It is what it is. Many have railed against the process but it never changes. No matter what industry or how big your organisation is, the Commonwealth has many such things on the boil and all will be dealt with in time. Delayed AR exams will not strike fear or urgency into the process.
Many times these changes result in the employees (in this case volunteer examiners etc) moving to the new provider with the practical upshot being they get new work shirts. They sit in the same seats and in front of the same computer. The hardest part is learning how the new system operates and how the new company works - the actual work changes little.
This is what is happening here.
As someone who lives through this regularly, all I can offer as advice is go with the flow and try not to get angry that the process seems to take forever. This is not the first time this has happened and nor will it be the last.
