Will Hinshaw Posted November 23, 2020 at 10:02 PM Posted November 23, 2020 at 10:02 PM Hi All, I was wondering if it possible to obtain a certificate for a certain ATC or Pilot rating on the network? I'm asking as it is something I'm looking to put into my University application and they would probably like to see a certificate of the qualification I have achieved. Many Thanks, Will Hinshaw 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Thomson Posted November 24, 2020 at 12:27 AM Posted November 24, 2020 at 12:27 AM I assume that the University academic year has already started, so you're looking at entry next year? Whatever the situation, I'd advise you that you are looking to spend a lot of time and effort in gaining VATSIM ratings for entirely the wrong reason. As an ex-University member of faculty, I viewed course applicants' qualifications as indications of interest in, and commitment to, that area. Merely gathering "gongs" or qualifications would not show any degree of commitment to an interest, and it would be that involvement, and enthusiasm, which would interest me in a candidate. But I also assume that you believe that the activities of VATSIM already interest you, otherwise you would not have started this thread! :) In which case, forget University entrance requirements and enjoy VATSIM. From that, you would have a REAL demonstrable interest which you have pursued with academic rigour, and THAT would interest the board.
