5. Course Timeline

We expect all students to follow the timeline outlined below.

Apply for Training

Apply for S2 training in Control Center.

Begin Pre-Training

Once it is your turn in the queue, you will receive an email notification confirming that your training request status has been updated to Pre-Training. Simultaneously, you will be assigned a mentor and granted access to the S2 Moodle course.

Self-Study & Theory Test

Study the provided theoretical materials independently and complete the S2 Theory Test. Detailed information regarding the test can be found within the Moodle.

This self-study phase and the accompanying test must be completed within a timeframe of two weeks.

Simulation Exercises with Mentor

After completing the theoretical exam with a passing score, you may begin simulation training with your mentor. It is your responsibility as a student to suggest times for training.

Online Training with Mentor

Online training sessions where you will continue practicing applying Tower control concepts with live VATSIM traffic. We recommend trying to book a session with your mentor during an event.

At least two online training sessions must be conducted.

VATEUD S2 Core Test

Once your mentor believes you are ready to practice on your own (and pass a CPT), you will receive access to the VATEUD S2 Core Test.

Solo Endorsement Practice

Upon successfully passing your VATEUD Core Test, you will receive a Solo Endorsement valid for 30 days, allowing you to staff your assigned Tower position without mentor supervision. At the same time, your Controller Practical Test (CPT) should be scheduled to take place while your solo endorsement is still valid.

Controller Practical Test

To finish your S2 training, your practical skills will be assessed during a Controller Practical Test (CPT).

Position ESGG_TWR (or ESMS_TWR)
Duration 90 to 120 minutes
Supporting ATC positions ESGG_GND at the discretion of the examiner

If you fail your CPT, you will be offered further training and a new CPT later on.

Training Completion

Upon successfully passing your Controller Practical Test, you will receive your S2 rating upgrade from VATEUD. You may staff unsrestricted S2 positions in Sweden.
