VATNA Launches ATO
« on: June 03, 2016, 07:17:12 AM »
On behalf of our Region Director, Nicola Felini, it is my great pleasure to announce that VATSIM North America, having received VATSIM certification as an Authorized Training Organization, is now accepting students for our newly approved P1 course. We are offering the course in both English and Spanish, and we are happy to announce that our VATMEX Division will be overseeing the Spanish course in order to better serve those pilots who choose to study for the course in their native language.

We would further like to thank the entire team who worked ceaselessly to successfully develop this ATO at the regional level. Special thanks go to Arturo, Fernando and to Brayden who helped pull this all together on short notice. And to JF of course, who was the original guiding light behind the program, and to everyone who helped him get this off the ground.

From the very beginning, it has been the intention of VATNA to provide VATSIM with well-trained pilots by introducing them to the basics of flight on the VATSIM network. If you are interested in getting started, visit http://www.vatna.org/ and click on the Regional ATO at the top of the page to sign up and get started!

We look forward to seeing all you new pilots there!

Quoting myself from the VATSIM forum:

Great news! Fantastic that the course is now being provided in multiple languages. Fantastic work to everyone involved and i'm glad the NA Region is providing another location for network pilots to improve their flying skills.

See you all in the sky,
