ATC Tower Course

If you are considering a career as an Air Traffic Controller, your first step is to obtain the licence required to work in an ATC Tower. To this end, FTEJerez has developed an intensive ATC course that has successfully graduated the next generation of Air Traffic Controllers.

The entire course content is in accordance with Eurocontrol's Common Core Content requirements. Over a period of 20 training weeks you will complete the BASIC training phase (theory) followed by the RATING training phase, delivered on our on-campus, state-of-the-art ATC simulator.

After completing the ATC Tower Course you will acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and operational capability in order to commence working in an air traffic control tower.

Today, FTEJerez has established itself as a partner of choice for leading ASNP's whilst offering our ATC cadets some of the best job prospects in the industry. Milestones of our ATC division feature:

  • The first private basic training provider approved by Eurocontrol to apply FEAST selection testing.*

Please note that despite issuing EASA licences, the ATC sector is traditionally very nation-focused. The controllers national ANSPs consider for employment are generally nationals of their home country or native level speakers of the country's official language. While we consider EU passport holders for our training courses and deliver all our training in English, FTEJerez cannot guarantee the same career service for non-Spanish students. We strongly recommend that you contact your national ANSPs and find out their eligibility criteria before applying for training at FTEJerez.
