3 Air Traffic Controller Licence: Procedures and Privileges
3.1 Requirement to Hold a Licence
A person who wishes to act as an air traffic controller in the United Kingdom must hold a valid air traffic controller licence issued or recognised by the CAA, which contains valid ratings and endorsements appropriate to the control tasks to which the controller is assigned. A person not holding an air traffic controller licence, who provides an air traffic control service under supervision towards the grant of an air traffic controller licence, must hold a student air traffic controller licence issued by the CAA.
Applicants for student air traffic controller or air traffic controller licences must satisfy the CAA’s Requirements for Proficiency in the English language (CAP 624 Part 17).

The stages to be completed in order to meet the licensing requirements for becoming an air traffic controller are described below. The requirements themselves are set out and amplified in Parts 2 and 3 of this document.

It will include technical subjects and ATC theory and practice, including practical training conducted on simulators. The object of initial training is to prepare a trainee for unit training.
NOTE: Where approved by the CAA, initial training towards UK-specific rating endorsements may be conducted on an approved course of training at an ATC unit.
b) Unit Training
Unit training includes Transitional, Pre-OJT and OJT training and is conducted in accordance with a unit training plan (UTP) approved by the CAA.
