KEY POINTS:
History
Founded in 2008, Advanced ATC was created with a mission to deliver exceptional training to aspiring air traffic controllers. Over the years, we have expanded our course offerings to include advanced air traffic control training, and radar, and specialized programs tailored to meet specific industry demands.
Career
If you’re considering a career in air traffic control, look no further than Advanced ATC. Renowned for its comprehensive training programs, Advanced ATC equips students with the skills and knowledge needed for successful careers in the aviation industry. With a strong focus on safety, professionalism, and excellence, Advanced ATC has established itself as a trusted authority in air traffic control training.
Features
One of the standout features of our program is the ability for students to earn their Controller Tower Operator (CTO) certification. This certification is crucial, as it allows graduates to work with live traffic immediately after finishing their studies. This hands-on experience is invaluable in the fast-paced world of air traffic control.
Equipped with state-of-the-art simulation, facilities feature full-scale ATC towers and radar systems, providing students with priceless hands-on experience in a controlled environment. The carefully crafted curriculum covers every aspect of air traffic control, from procedures to critical decision-making and problem-solving skills.
Team
At Advanced ATC, their instructional team comprises seasoned professionals who bring extensive knowledge and real-world expertise into the classroom. Their commitment to student success ensures that graduates are equipped with the skills and confidence needed to excel in the field.
Benefits
In the industry, a standard requirement is six months of proficiency training after receiving a CTO. At Advanced ATC, we not only prepare our students to achieve this certification but also support them in completing their six months of proficiency at the tower where they trained. This ensures that our graduates are not only certified but also fully prepared for the challenges of real-world air traffic management.
Additionally, our alumni have a unique advantage in the job market. After gaining twelve months of experience in a contract tower, they can apply directly for positions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), provided they are under 34 years old. This direct pathway to employment with the FAA highlights the effectiveness of our training and the strong reputation of our graduates.
Advanced ATC maintains strong connections with industry partners, giving students exposure to the latest advancements and best practices in air traffic control. This dedication to excellence has solidified Advanced ATC’s reputation as the premier training institution in this field.
Statistics
While national college graduation rates show that many students face challenges—such as a 64% graduation rate for four-year programs. The failure rate among air traffic controller trainees in the United States, as reported by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is notably high. At the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, the attrition rate can reach approximately 40-50%. This statistic indicates that nearly half of the trainees do not successfully finish the demanding training program and ultimately do not earn certification as air traffic controllers. Advanced ATC is committed to ensuring that our students not only graduate but thrive in their careers.
With an impressive 98% success rate, our graduates are highly sought after, earning over $68,000 at their first placement facility. This achievement speaks volumes about the effectiveness of our training and the career prospects available to our alumni.
Choosing Advanced ATC means choosing a future filled with opportunity and professional growth. Join us in shaping the future of air traffic control and take the first step toward a rewarding career in aviation. Your journey to success begins here!
