Seeking ATC Training

I was wondering how I should go about receiving one on one ATC training. I am pretty familiar with VATSIM, I used to fly on it and took a break, and I've decided to come back. I've done some basic ATC in the past, but I was wondering if any one on one ATC training is given, so that I can learn more in depth and how to use ASRC.

 

Thanks.

Hi Kris,

 

Once you p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] the basic ATC exam you will get promoted to Student 1 status. At that point if you apply to the US Division you can get yourself [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned to a specific ARTCC.

 

Your training for things like ASRC/VRC and lots of other things begins once you arrive at your "facility".

 

Hope that helps.

Ian You got it backwards,

 

once you join the USA division you will be [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned the Basic exam. once you p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] you will be promoted to Student one and be moved to a Facility. once you get to the facility you will begin your formal training.

Honestly - the process is confusing.

 

I know that people are constantly trying to make it easier, it still seems complicated to me. Last week I spent an hour trying to explain it to a guy I was chatting with.

 

I'm not saying that I have a solution or that someone is doing a bad job, just that I find it confusing.
