"Jason - it only takes months if the person can't coordinate with instructors... I have seen people come out in a LOT less time, but they were motivated. \n  \nPerhaps they need someone with your knowledge to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]IST them in helping student through. \n  \nThe academy was created to give a basic framework for a student to build off of, so that EVERY S3 had the same basic core skillset (in theory). \n  \nAs for the OP's comments: \n1. ...about the extra leg work I can't answer that, but if they p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ed it once they should easily p[Mod - Happy Thoughts] it a second time, no? \n2. Outdated materials - there is a chain of command about that, the TA,ATM,VATUSA RD, VATUSA3 and even VATUSA1. I agree with the OP that that is unacceptable though and as I am not on staff I will refrain from commenting on what I think of ATMs who let their data go stale. \n3. As to having someone to teach them... that is the cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ic issue. Thats not an academy issue thats an ARTCC issue but it should follow #2s order. If they cant teach you in a manner you find timely then complain or move... thats the only two options really. \n"
