ATC - How to get your foot in the door

Real World Aviation

Over the past year I have become more and more interested in becoming a ATC in the United States. I have looked into it but not with any dedication. I am beginning to look for training centers and jobs. I am looking for input/advise from actual ATC or, student ATC members that can give me a better insight on how to become a Air Traffic Controller.

Thank you,
Nick

Go to an accredited 2 year community college that runs an atc program (CTI) and ask to speak to course counselor. They will be the best to guide you in this process.

All the best

There’s also the military option if you qualify for the job and they have openings.

I’d recommend you hear the Flightcast podcast Episode 5 in which Jason Rosewell talks with real life controllers’ like Tyler Shelton and others about ATC in the United States. Could give you a fairly good idea. :)
