No. Advanced ATC does not provide a tuition discount based on prior attendance at the FAA Academy. FAA Academy and facility training are demanding, and not every trainee completes each stage. Attrition percentages can vary by cohort, track, hiring period, and assigned facility, so applicants should not rely on a single national percentage without reviewing the source and time period.
Advanced ATC reports that 98% of students in its established CTO program have earned their CTO facility ratings and progressed into air traffic control careers. The program is designed around intensive instruction, simulation, practical training, and support intended to promote completion and long-term professional success. Individual results are not guaranteed and depend on the student’s attendance, academic and practical performance, medical and security eligibility, professionalism, and ability to satisfy all certification and employer requirements.
