I really want to be an air traffic controller! HELP!?

Question

I have very bad eyesight

where do i start?!

thank you

Answer 1

Here in the U.S. you do not need a college degree.  Being an ATC is one of the highest paying non degree jobs available.

Answer 2

You need to hold at least a class 2 medical in the US. This means your eyesight must be correctable to 20/20 among other things.

There are college programs in the US.

try this. I have alot of friends form here who are air traffic controllers now

Answer 3

We have the same interest.

I'm not quite familiar with the procedures in other countries but here in the Philippines the requirements are:

- You need to be a College Degree holder

- Pass the Physical and Written Exam

- Take the Air Traffic Controller training course in the Civil Aviation Traning Center. Passing the course will make you eligible to be an Air Traffic Controller

P.S. I have bad eyesight too

Answer 4

To get into the FAA school is very very hard, the easy way is to join the military and become a military air traffic controller with a guaranteed MOS.

Answer 5

My eyes are 20/200 which means I need glasses to read what I'm typing right now.  I'm a controller in the US.  I went through the same process as everyone else, so I'd start where everyone else is starting in your country.
