Technical Certificate
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Employment Restrictions
FCCJ has no restrictions on age or physical conditions of students. However, students desiring to pursue a career in air traffic control should take note of the following FAA requirements:
- Must be a U.S. Citizen
- Must pass an Air Traffic-Selection and Training (AT-SAT) or Office of Personnel Management (OPM) examination administered by the FAA.
- 30-year-old maximum age restriction for employment in terminal or en route options.
- Security screening background check
- Must meet the medical requirements of FAR 65 and 67 (FAA Class II Pilot medical while in a student status).
The ATC program requires extensive reading and interpretation of technical information. The ATC Specialist requires good hand/eye coordination and English language proficiency. Students should be aware that completing the program requirements does not guarantee employment with the FAA.
This program does not provide a Florida state technical certificate but does provide a Florida Community College certificate.

- Be accepted for admission or be currently enrolled at Florida Community College.
