Entry Point North ATS Academy

Entry Point North, a leading global ATS academy, will continue delivering Area Control Surveil- lance (ACS) Rating training for Croatia Control Ltd air traffic control students.

The ACS course provided by Entry Point North is harmonised and standardised in terms of content and method- ology and delivered to the 5 ANSPs – COOPANS members: Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.

In autumn 2013 the first group of Croatian student controllers attended ACS Rating training in the academy facilities in Malmoe. The second group will start their 18-week hands-on training in the beginning of June.

The training delivered is fully compliant with Eurocontrol CCC and includes COOPANS infor- mation and site visits to COOPANS operated control centres as part of Croatia Control’s need for specific COOPANS related training. In order to ensure that local training needs are ad- dressed and thoroughly fulfilled, the training is conducted in cooperation between local Croatian instructors and Entry Point North’s professional training staff. Drawing on the instructors’ ex- tensive knowledge and operational experience of the COOPANS system, they also provide all the students with live demonstrations and hands-on training using the latest COOPANS HMI.

“We are pleased to have another group of Croatia Control students at our academy. The con- tinuous close relation with Croatia Control is very rewarding and proves our abilities to deliver top quality training services” – says Bjarne Alster, Client Manager at Entry Point North.
