Air traffic controller recruitment

There is no single application used worldwide. Hiring is run by the employer. Licence and medical rules may sit with the national aviation authority beside that campaign.

The document that matters is the current vacancy notice. Age limits, education, citizenship or the right to work, medical fitness, security clearance, and language requirements are stated there. They change between campaigns.

Before relying on a requirement, check three things:

  1. The name of the organisation that published it.
  2. The date of the document.
  3. Whether it describes a current campaign or a previous one.

If applications are closed, keep the notice and the date, and check that employer again later. Where to find the notice is covered under Resources. Pay during and after training is covered under Salary.
