Becoming a Controller is different from becoming a pilot at VATSIM. As pilot, you log on and fly - you might want to [http://www.vatsim.net/prc/ study documents] or do a [http://www.vatsim.net/pilots/ptd/ pilot training], but you don't need to. Becoming a Controller is different:
 +
*You learn, you pass tests, you earn degrees that allow you to staff certain stations step by step.
 +
*You are part of a team which works with you, shares opinions, has disputes and fun together.

Therefore, there is a formal path for your education. With these steps (defined in [http://www.vatsim.net/index.php?eID=tx_nawsecuredl&u=0&file=fileadmin/docs/ec/GRP_version201109.pdf&t=1330684189&hash=97721eda367ae7c9741c3e14d0bc31e8 VATSIM regulations]), it is ensured that you are able to do the job you want to do, and have fun together with fellow controllers and pilots.
