Academy Orientation & Training Sessions
« on: August 23, 2021, 02:26:09 PM »
Attention VATUSA Controllers:

The first New Student Orientation group session will take place this coming Sunday, August 29th at 2100 ET / 1800 PT and last approx. one hour. This will begin the first of three different types of group sessions that will be offered to our membership as a result of the new training academy.

The first Group Training Session (generally open to all ratings) will take place Sunday, September 5th at 2100 ET / 1800 PT and last approx. one hour. All OBS and S1 students are encouraged to attend as the primary focus will be on the Basic ATC/S1 course sequence. As both time and teacher availability exist moving forward, breakout rooms are available to subdivide levels and coincidentally offer instruction for all ratings.

All sessions will be conducted on the VATUSA Discord in the Academy Voice category.

Since the success and availability of synchronous instruction relies heavily on our teachers to volunteer their time, the schedule of upcoming sessions may be modified up until the last minute. Every effort will be made to make these sessions regular and predictable, while delicately weighing the extent to which our teachers balance their virtual and real world lives. Future announcements about sessions will be made in the academy-chat channel on the VATUSA Discord.

For more information, and to keep track of all upcoming sessions, please follow the link below to access the VATUSA Training Academy Events Calendar.

Reminder the first orientation session is taking place this evening at 2100 ET / 1800 PT.

New Student Orientation is geared for new members but applicable to everyone as we introduce and walkthrough the new Academy experience.
