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 collection 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 or decide not no pick their own trainee but offer their free time to several different trainees in several different situations, which is fine as well. Our team's value is defined by its diversity. Significant hours means different inputs for all the various members.

Should they no longer be able to provide the amount of input they expected themselves to, they may at any time step back from their position by contacting their staff.

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