Spanish ATC

[DjerbaDevil]

The latest news on training for Spanish ATC would appear to be an answer to many prayers but is still way away in the future and as pointed out by Nightstop #134 "The only solution I can see is an outside team of overseas experts brought in to retrain and monitor the present encumbants and that includes the Trainers themselves.":

Astac has incorporated Astac Spain SL to assist in the marketing and preparation of training programmes for air traffic controllers in Spain. Astac Spain will be working in conjunction with University Camilo Jose Cela in Madrid and have signed a joint venture agreement to establish the formal links to integrate the Astac training with UCJC.
Astac Ltd will undertake the training at the Astac Shoreham International Training Centre in Brighton, and students will also be able to participate in the Astac University of Gloucestershire Foundation Science Degree in Air Traffic and Aviation Management.
The students will benefit from the great experience of Astac in training controllers for more than 30 countries around the world; and with the training being in England students will significantly improve their English and Aviation language skills.Astac Spain is working with the Ministry of Transport, Civil Aviation Authority and AENA in Spain to coordinate the training of controllers planned to commence in August 2010.
