ABSTRACT
A review of the Civil Aviation Authority's air traffic control selection and training processes in Australia was carried out in 1992 by the Training Review Project Team (Keech, Maher, Donato & Sutherland, 1992). This review recommended change to the selection process then in place and the commencement of the College for Air Traffic Controller Training now based in Melbourne. The College took its first trainees based on the new selection procedures in 1994. This move to in-house selection and training mirrored to some extent the situation applying in the 1970s and early 1980s when the Australian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA, now Airservices Australia), conducted training through its Henty House facility in use at the time. The 1990s Airservices Australia selection processes and college facilities are more extensive and comprehensive than was the case in the 1970s and 1980s.
