ATC 300Basic Air Traffic Control Capstone Review and Screening0
credit(s) This course will be a cumulative review of the basic skills covered in the program and is completed during the students senior year or after graduation. Students will be tested at the end of this course as part of the overall screening process. This course will assist students in reinforcing the material covered during the program and serve as a refresher course before the selection process and prior to entering the Federal Aviation Administration Academy. The review course will be offered online only. To pass the course, students need to score a grade of 80% or better on the screening exam. The course grading will be a P (pass) for satisfactory course completion or an F (fail) for unsatisfactory course completion. Students can participate in as many ATC300 sections as they desire, to ensure a strong air traffic basics foundation as they enter the FAA Academy and muswt be taken as part of a Vaughn Degree Program. The course was incorporated into the curriculum for students entering the program beginning in the fall 2008 semester and is required for the FAA Standard CTI recommendation
