What is the AT-CTI Program?
The AT-CTI is a non-funded program which is designed to establish partnerships with educational institutions and to broaden employment opportunities in the aviation industry. While AT-CTI graduates are not guaranteed employment, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) considers the AT-CTI program graduates a valuable hiring source for Air Traffic Control Specialists (ATCS).
Schools are expected to teach the subjects that encompass the FAA’s Air Traffic Basics Course; ensure college graduates have a broad knowledge of the aviation industry; and possess the requisite knowledge, skills, and abilities to succeed in training.
Upon successful completion of the AT-CTI program, students are required to achieve a passing score on the Air Traffic Selection and Training (AT-SAT) test battery, attend the FAA Academy, and successfully complete initial qualification training.
