The CAC conducts a whole range of courses
from ab-initio training for new recruits to other
advanced courses required to provide Air Traffic Services within Malaysia.
The DCA and the Malaysian Public Services Commission do recruitment of new
controllers jointly; as controllers are government employees. These new
recruits under go a fixed ab-initio training programme that leads to their appointment as air
traffic controllers. Thereafter the ATS Division,
based first on operational needs and then on career progression, plans
training for controllers.
Once the training needs are identified, the
CAC, the ATS Division and the ATCC’s plan
the course schedule for a whole year. As most trainees are operational
controllers, the operational needs must be looked it, especially whether
the candidates can be released from active duty to attend courses. In
recent years, the CAC has included in its curricula other related, but ‘Non-ATC’
based courses to meet the increasing demands for additional training to
develop skills in other areas.
The following courses are presently conducted
by the CATC.

DIPLOMA
IN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL **
|
**The Diploma in ATC is a 3 year programme conducted jointly by the CAC and the Faculty
of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi
Malaysia,
where the ATC component of the diploma is conducted by the CAC, and the
Diploma is awarded by the University. The programme
leads to the obtaining of aerodrome/approach rating, which is a core
requirement to graduate.
As employment opportunities for ATC’s in Malaysia
are available only within the DCA, the programme
is offered only when the DCA wishes to recruit new controllers. However,
graduates from this programme are not assured of
jobs at the DCA.
