Luca Del Fabro:

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor. As we are a non-profit organisation aimed at providing virtual air traffic control, we rely on voluntary mentors (you hopefully!) to educate the next generation of controllers, just as you have received training previously. Each trainee requires an extensive amount of time and we very much appreciate seeing you wanting to return the favour.

Applications are to be admitted to the trainings department.

==Requirements==
Members may apply provided they

*are at least 18 years of age. IN exceptional circumstances and after careful evaluation may the age limit be reduced to 16 years old.
*see VACC Austria as their VATSIM home and care for no other FIR's procedures in a way you do for LOVV's and for no VACC's internal affairs like you do for ours, vACC Austria.
*enjoy our community and have spent hours there within; controlling, flying etc.
*tend to be sociable and know how to communicate with people of different age, profession and belief.
*know what you do and how to manage (at least) the station you plan to give lessons on.
*have finished your own training (C1 rating) or accept to invest considerable amounts of time into someone else’s training instead of yours. Both can be tricky.
*are able to commit ''significant hours'' on a regular basis.

The training department reserves the right to deny any applications after internal review.

==Expectations and Life Cycle ==

Bear in mind ''obtaining'' the privileges of a mentor comes with an obligation to ''provide''.
Mentors will be expected to continuously engage in ATC training to an extent they and their staff agree upon: some are seen three times a week and like to cycle through their group of trainees, providing an excellent training for all of those at the same time, which is fine, while others barely manage to educate their one trainee all the way to the finish line (C1) or decide not no pick their own trainee but offer their free time to several different trainees, which is fine as well. Our team's value is defined by its diversity.
Significant hours mean different inputs from all the various members.

Should a mentor no longer be able to provide the amount of input they expect themselves to commit to, they may at any time step back from their position by contacting the trainings department.

In case of irregularities, staff might get in touch as a means of quality assurance or to enforce proper behavior among members.
