Professional Pilot and Air Traffic Controller Training School

History & Track Record

FTEJerez has 30 years of experience in the aviation sector and is recognised as one of the most prestigious professional pilot schools in Europe. Our ATC training is based on the same principles that have made our pilot course an industry benchmark: an unwavering commitment to excellence.

To deliver high-quality training, FTEJerez selects only the best instructors to join our international team. All of them have years of experience in both military and civil aviation, holding operational positions at national and international level. In addition, our instructors must have at least 5 years of proven experience in ATC training and a minimum ICAO Operational English level 5.

Following the liberalisation of control towers and ATC training in Spain, FTEJerez became the first private training centre authorised by AESA to deliver air traffic control courses.

Today, FTEJerez has established itself as a leading partner for major air navigation service providers, having graduated more than one hundred controllers and offering our cadets the best career opportunities in the sector. Some of the achievements of our air traffic control training division include:

  • We are the first private basic training centre authorised by Eurocontrol to use the FEAST selection tests.*
  • We are the first private training centre authorised by AESA to deliver air traffic control courses.*
  • FTEJerez is the first private training centre to receive approval for OJTI courses.*
  • FTEJerez is the first private training centre to receive authorisation for the radar course.
  • We are the first private training centre to deliver military-to-civil licence conversion courses.*
  • We are the first private training centre to deliver ICAO-to-EASA conversion courses.*
  • FTEJerez is the first private training centre to receive approval to deliver APC courses.
