Silla University Holds Special Lecture on FAA Air Traffic Controller Qualification Course

The Department of Air Traffic Management at Silla University held a special lecture for corporate stakeholders on April 28, 2023, under the theme "Acquisition of Domestic and International Air Traffic Controller Certifications and Career Paths."

In this lecture, Professor Byun Soon-cheol, the Korean chief professor at Midwest University Aviation College in the United States and CEO of Total Aviation Service System, delivered the presentation.

Professor Byun provided detailed information to Silla University students about the process of obtaining the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Controller certification and broadened their perspectives on employment opportunities with foreign airlines.

The FAA Air Traffic Controller certification is an internationally recognized qualification that is separate from the domestic air traffic controller license and is necessary for employment with foreign airlines.
