The configuration of the strands allows people a wide range of choice in advancing within a specialist area, and/or broadening their skills and expertise across a number of specialisations. This qualification aligns with the requirements of Civil Aviation Rule Part 65 and its related licences. This qualification may stand alone, or lead on from the National Certificate in Air Traffic Services (Aerodrome Control Theory) (Level 5) with strands in Approach
Control Theory, Area Control Radar Theory, and Area Control Theory [Ref: 1383], and/or the National Certificate in Air Traffic Services (Level 6) with strands in Aerodrome and/or Area Flight Information, and Oceanic Air-Ground [Ref: 1384].
Career progression beyond these specialist roles is most likely to be in management, for which a range of management qualifications and/or training opportunities is available depending on the needs and aspirations of the
individual.
