6.1 Gaining a Student Air Traffic Controller Licence To be granted a Student Air Traffic Controller licence you must: a) have successfully completed an approved course of initial training; b) hold at least one pass at 'GCSE' Level standard or equivalent;
c) hold an educational qualification which would enable you to gain access to university or a similar educational institution;
d) have demonstrated competence in the ability to speak and understand the English Language to at least Level 4 of the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating scale;
e) hold a current medical certificate of the appropriate class; and
f) be at least 18 years of age.
In certain circumstances, the CAA may grant an exemption from the educational requirement given in b) and c) above.
A Student Air Traffic Controller licence permits you to provide an Air Traffic Control service at an aerodrome or Air Traffic Control centre, but only under the supervision of a fully qualified Air Traffic Controller who is an approved training instructor. The service being provided must be in the ATC discipline in which you have successfully completed an approved course of initial training. You must commence unit training in that discipline within 6 months of having completed the approved course.
6.2 Maintaining a Student Air Traffic Controller Licence
The Student Air Traffic Controller licence is issued for a period of two years, but may be renewed for a further two years provided you have commenced unit training. Any extension beyond this time will be at the discretion of the CAA.
When you are providing an Air Traffic Control service under supervision you must ensure that you hold a current medical certificate.
7 Training at Operational Units
7.1 Unit Training
All ATC units are different. The purpose of unit training is to teach you to apply local procedures and to enable you to gain the skills you will need to become an Air Traffic Controller at that unit, by building upon the knowledge and skills you gained during initial training.
The unit will have a unit training plan indicating the phases of training you will have to complete and what you will have to achieve within a particular timescale.
All training sessions will be reported upon to keep you informed of your progress and any failings you need to address.
When you are undertaking live training in an operational position you must comply with instructions given to you by your instructor.
If you successfully complete the unit training plan, you will be recommended for a rating examination.
7.2 Rating Examination
A rating examination will consist of:
a) a practical examination, during which you will be required to demonstrate you can provide a safe Air Traffic Control service; and
b) an oral board, during which you will be examined on your knowledge of the local Air Traffic Control procedures and any of the underpinning knowledge which you learned during the initial rating course.
The examination will be conducted by a CAA Inspector and a local ATC examiner, or in some cases by just a CAA Inspector.
If you pass the rating board you may apply for an Air Traffic Controller licence.
