FTEJerez has planned Full Rating courses for candidates who successfully pass the ENAIRE selection process to access the air traffic controller profession.
The course meets the requirement established in section 3.2 of the official call, i.e. holding a valid EU civil student air traffic controller licence and each of the following ratings and, where applicable, rating endorsements:
The course includes familiarisation with the SACTA system and refresher sessions prior to unit training at the ENAIRE facility.
High-quality training is reflected in our students’ pass rate when they join ENAIRE units.
100% of our students have successfully passed unit training in ENAIRE towers and control centres.
The design, syllabus and planning of our courses ensure that students acquire the competencies and skills required to successfully face unit training at their assigned destination.
At FTEJerez you will enjoy a complete aviation environment where future air traffic controllers and pilots share a campus offering all the facilities and comfort needed to make the most of their training.
Air traffic controllers play a crucial role in aviation, but they are part of a wider team.
In addition to ATC training, FTEJerez has more than 30 years of experience in airline pilot training and is considered one of the most important aviation schools in Europe.
Sharing the same campus and facilities with airline pilot cadets allows us to offer unique synergies that no other ATC training provider in Spain can deliver.
