i want to become ATC

Dears,

i am in a very confused state. where to go, where to study. and all of that.

if you coud advice me the college and the degree i would be really thankful. but i dont know if there is anyone who could spend some time for me.

how about flight dispatcher course from EAC

do i really require a diploma or higher education in meteorology/navigation/flight planning to be a good candidate.

kindly give me your valuable suggestions

thanks

Is this for real?

First thing you should decide on is what exactly is it that you want. You've posted 6 random posts suggesting that you want to be an ATC, Pilot and a dispatcher. Which is it to be?

Oh and...

am not good looking.
Nothing like a bit of self-criticism eh?

Post a picture and we'll decide

You need to develop your English skills a great deal. Your profile says age 34, which is not on your side if you are considering starting from scratch as a commercial pilot or controller. I am not saying it would be impossible, but you might find it very difficult. For both careers there is a great deal of hard work and many exams to be passed.

I appreciate the response.
yes, i understand the skills need to be developed.
and with regards to the choice i am now coming to the point. it has to be in the flight operations. ie flight dispatch. which will give me job satisfaction as i can with with every element i have learnt. meteo,nav, mass/balance /flt planning. etc.

i have been searching online for distant learning programs to have a solid certification in meteo and navigation.
