William Richards 1169795 Posted November 22, 2010 at 08:08 PM Posted November 22, 2010 at 08:08 PM Hi Vatsimers, I've been browsing in circles through the Controller Training section of Vatsim. How do I take the test to become a rated S1 ground controller? I've almost completed my first semester in my controller CTI and I'm confident in my abilities. I've downloaded the VRC software. Sincerely, Will Richards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted November 22, 2010 at 08:18 PM Posted November 22, 2010 at 08:18 PM first you need to signup with an ARTCC/FIR, theyll take you through the training then youll get tested. theres lots of training involved before you get tested. if you are a CTI student then much of it should be a breeze for you and you should advance quickly. where are you interested in controlling?

William Richards 1169795 Posted November 22, 2010 at 10:05 PM Author Posted November 22, 2010 at 10:05 PM I'd like to eventually become a center controller in Colorado. On vatsim I've registered in the eastern division of the North American region. That area of the site doesn't give me the option to sign up for an ARTCC however. Is there a specific website URL I go to, to sign up for the Colorado training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Becker 1142460 Posted December 3, 2010 at 02:27 AM Posted December 3, 2010 at 02:27 AM Hi William, The website listed on VATUSA last I checked is incorrect for ZDV. The appropriate website (for now anyway) is zdvartcc.org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
