Hello

 

I'm interested in getting my Student rating so I can begin training to be a controller. The ZTL page tells me this:

Important line here:

 

Submit a letter interest to enroll in the ATC Training Academy to the VATUSA Training Department at [email protected] and be sure to include your real name, CID, and email address. Once your letter of interest has been received you will be notified by email that you have been signed up to take the Basic ATC/Observer exam at the VATUSA Certification Center.

Skip the letter and go to: http://vatusa.org/training/academy_enroll.html . Fill out and submit the form. This for is for people who have an S1 or OBServer rating. Anything higher will be rejected by the system.

I don't even have a rating, I've never even started this stuff before, so do I send the letter or fill out the form?

New members have a rating of Pilot/Observer (sometimes referred to as an OBS or Observer rating), so you would fill out the form.

Oh, okay. I thought I had to take the test to get the student/observer rating. Will fill out the form, then.

 

Thanks everyone!

Yes, I've already notified Jeff (USA6). That was the only page I forgot to have him update when we switched over to the new enrollment form. Thanks for catching that.
