The Control Room Floor / Rating Update

Quote from: Alex Bailey
The following are the S-1 requirements which have been outlined in the VATUSA Controller Ratings Guidelines document that all TA's agreed upon and then confirmed again in our meeting back near the end of last year. This is the "Student Level Practical Exam Evaluation" form. You can find the entire document in the staff training forum below, most recently in the "Friendly Reminder" post.
Thank you all for your input, I will contact my ARTCC to get the Student Level Practical Exam Evaluation, I am trying to do my best to follow all the proper guidelines.
The proper information needed have found it only trough the forum.
As may I do an advice, this is just my own rookie opinion, the proper information for New applicants is not clear enough. An step by step guide for new applicants should be made in one place. This is my example:

1.Welcome guide(What is this, what we do, how we do it, who are we, in a very entusiast way to provide interest)
2. Step by step evaluation process to start controlling.(Who and where to ask for questions an any part of the process)
    a-Software download and instalation(User guide for new starters, how to connect as an observer)
    b-Policies for observers(Be aware what you can and can't do)
    c-Basic Controller test(Where to find all proper knowledge for the test, when, where and what to expect if fails).
    d-VATUSA S1 student test (Where to find all proper knowledge for the test, when, where and what to expect if fails).
    e-Student Level Practical Exam Evaluation (Where to find all proper knowledge for the test, when, where and what to expect if fails).
    f-Local minor Tower exam.(Where to find all proper knowledge for the test, when, where and what to expect if fails).
    g-Certification to control minor airports( Now you can start you training for a mayor airpor and how to do it.)
3. Step indicator.(Where is the applicant acording the current process and where to go or do next)

This is just an example of what I will like to find when I went trough all this process in just one place, I know all this information is here but you have to find it jumping in different webpages(Of course you must go to different websites, its just saying a list of which ones)and sometimes you feel lost on what to do next, so your only resource is the forum where you must wait for and answer to find out what you need or miss to do. Couldn't we do something a litle more friendly and clear for new applicants in one place telling them where to go and what to do? Will this provide better information releasing staff members, instructors and mentors time so they can focus on controllers issues?
 
This is just an idea, is not to be intended to critizism or complain, I have lot of administration skills that will like to put on service for your staff and will be more than happy to help on anything I can in provide a better organization. I know I have a long way to go and a lot to learn, I am trying to do my best to learn every day. Thanks.

Hello!!

I am new to this forum and I wonder if here I can address this.
I presented my Basic controller test and my S1 Sudent test and passed but my rating still Observer/Pilot on the Vatuza roster at NYARTCC
I can't start controlling until my rating is updated as student. Who I can adress this or somebody here can contact for me the right person in charge of this?
Besides that hi to everyone, I am happy to start working hard with you guys and expect to meet a lot of you to learn and make lot of friends.
An advice to this rookie will be ok  jeje.
