Few things you should complete before you can connect as ATC:
New controllers are requried to request a training in order to be allowed to practice at an assigned training airport. Once training is requested an Instructor will be assigned which will guide the student through the initial training.
We expect students to self-study in order to be best prepared for each scheduled training session, we do not offer full lectures on each topic as this is simple not feasible, instead we try to point out mistakes or demonstrate where improvements can be made.
