One of just a small number of colleges and universities that were granted FAA designation as a Collegiate Training Initiative school (and among the original cohort of 13), Embry-Riddle’s air traffic control programs continue to provide well-trained graduates for this imperative career.
Taught by passionate, knowledgeable professors who have held positions as air traffic controllers themselves, the Air Traffic Management program at ERAU will prepare you for success in this fast-paced field. Throughout your studies, you’ll gain fundamental traffic controller knowledge and competency through a mix of realistic lab simulations, classroom instruction, and computer-based learning.
Experience what it is to be an air traffic controller in ERAU’s state-of-the-art labs.
The En Route Lab, the Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) Lab, and the Control Tower Lab all use virtual air traffic control simulation and interface with “pseudo pilots” to emulate actual exchanges between controller and pilot. Since ERAU has a formal partnership agreement with the FAA, you can be assured the curriculum and standards meet FAA demands and always exceed its expectations.
The Air Traffic Management program provides you with the knowledge and foundation designated for entry into the FAA Academy, where you’ll be integrated with others for additional air traffic control training. Because of the high quality of their education and experience, Embry-Riddle graduates always lead their classes at the FAA Academy.
