Questions and answers

Can I train as an air traffic controller CHE straight after leaving school?

A school-leaving certificate or Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training (Federal VET Diploma) is required to train as a flight attendant CHE, which means that you cannot start the CHE course after completing compulsory schooling. There is also an age limit of between 18 and 30 years for the start of training.

At which locations in Switzerland can I work in military aviation security after graduating as an air traffic control manager?

In the first year of your training to become a qualified air traffic controller CHE, you will decide on a specialization, which will result in different fields of work and therefore different locations. For a job in military air traffic, you can choose from the locations Meiringen, Payerne, Emmen, Alpnach, Locarno, Dübendorf, Wangen bei Dübendorf and Buochs.

How is the CHE air traffic controller training program structured?
