ATNS nnveils new bursary programme

Johannesburg, South Africa. Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) SOC Limited is in the process of assessing applications of twenty (20) qualifying candidates, to be trained as Target Generating Officers (TGOs).

ATNS introduced the TGO Bursary Programme in November 2019.

TGOs are required to perform simulator pilot roles in the training of Air Traffic Controllers (ATCs) and Air Traffic Services Officers (ATSOs). Training – which is extensive – is expected to start in the first quarter of 2020.

“The training of TGOs instead of ATCs and ATSOs is as a result of the realignment of Air Traffic Services function within ATNS and to fully comply with the South African Civil Aviation Authority’s reviewed operational legal requirements relating to simulator training,” says Interim ATNS CEO, Thomas Kgokolo
As a consequence, ATNS will not be calling for ATC Bursary applications this year (2020).

It is worth noting that our website still requests prospective ATC and ATSO bursary candidates to submit applications on specific dates. Such are not effective or valid. Visitors to our website will also find information that has not been updated for a while. This is because the site is undergoing an extensive redesign. We would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused.
