Self Funding : Its your money so,
Do what you think is right,
Have a look at some of the other posts there is quite a few who paid their way and have nothing to show for it.
Others have been "parked" by their ANSP sponsor as they are surplus to requirements at present.
Most Airports and ANSP's are replacing retirements where necessary and that's all.
Despite the hype there is only
about 16,000 ATCO's between the main ANSP's and the smaller towers in Europe.
As new technology comes on stream for the Remote Tower Concept (2018+) many of the smaller airports will no longer have an actual ATC presence at the aerodrome.
So even this route will become scarce.
Any private college will happily take your money and train you, but what then?
Think long and hard before committing yourself to this course of action.
Remember "one swallow does not a summer make".
You will always hear of the success from self funding you will rarely hear of the ones who have a licence but no job.
Your signature indicates Italy so assuming you are an Italian citizen then free movement of labour in the EU applies.
Where you train will have an implication for your employment prospects.
There is an EU ATCO licence so ensure any course provider you choose is certified
As far as I am aware there is only one EU recognised training course in the USA.
Then the longer you are without a job you will have to do an assessment of needs before anyone will consider you for unit training.
Up to a max of 4 years.
The validity of the licence is 4 years. The unit endorsement is only valid for that unit for a 12 month period.
Language, check the small print. Some airports require a degree of competence in their native language.
