✈️ Ten months of hard work, focus, and dedication — and today, it pays off. ✈️

Back in September, a group of aspiring air traffic controllers arrived in Prague with a shared goal. Since then, future ATCOs from Avinor have been immersed in ATC Initial Training at CANI, progressing through Basic Training and the ADC, ACS and APS rating courses.

Ten months of theory lessons, simulator sessions, assessments, setbacks, breakthroughs, and steady, continuous progress — and today, they leave CANI ready for the next stage of their journey.

They return home to Norway with new knowledge, lasting friendships, valuable memories, and the certificates that mark this milestone on their path towards becoming operational air traffic controllers.

Congratulations to everyone who reached this milestone after ten months of continuous effort. We are proud to have been part of your journey and wish you every success in the years ahead.

👉 Together, we are building the skills that keep skies safe.

✈️ From Basic Training to APP Rating – a journey completed at CANI ✈️

Future air traffic controllers from Slovenia Control, who began their training at CANI in October 2025, have now progressed through all key stages of initial ATCO training — from ATC Basic Training, through the ADC Rating, to the final milestone of the APP Rating.

Reaching this stage requires dedication, persistence and continuous development through a demanding training pathway.

The final APP phase included intensive theoretical preparation and 30+ practical simulator exercises per trainee, focused on managing complex traffic in approach environments.

Congratulations to those who reached this milestone — and we wish them every success as they move forward in their operational careers.

👉 Together, we are building the skills that keep skies safe.

👏 Thank you to Kontrola zračnega prometa Slovenije for the trust and cooperation throughout the entire training journey.
