"Rough guide to Air Traffic Control" course is intended to serve as a complete introduction to Air Traffic Control. It is designed for people who work within the aviation industry, either in a peripheral/ supporting role or in an administrative/ managerial position, but it is also addressed to people working within complementary industries that have contact with the ATC environment.

The course shall provide insight information from the challenging and fascinating world of Air Traffic Controllers. The course is designed to explain the essential role of the Air Traffic Controller (ATCO) and give participants the opportunity to gain some "hands on" experience in the working methods used by professional controllers.

To achieve this, and provide a deeper level of understanding of the real working environment, practical simulators will be used in the course, as well as a study visit to an ATC facility. Dedicating 1 day for theoretical learning and 1 day for practical training, the course is aiming at helping participants to first understand the ATCO environment and then experience being a part of it.
