Step 1 - Reading Computer Based Training (CBT) Modules

Please visit the VATCAR CBTs, and complete the training blocks in the Academy (VCAC) tab. All information provided in the introduction module are rules and regulations you must be aware of within the VATSIM network as well as the VATSIM Caribbean Division.

Step 2 - Completing your Entry Exam

After you have finished reading the CBT modules, you are ready to complete your Entry Exam!

To take the exam, you first need to have it assigned. Go to the Exam Center. A pop-up will come up asking if you would like to take the exam. Please select 'yes', and the exam should assign. Please wait at least 5 minutes to start if the exam doesn't assign right away. You will take the exam inside of the Exam Center.

The exam is a set of agreements that you agree to comply with. You need a score of 100% to pass. After completing the exam, you should get your score and final assessment. As well, if emails are on in your Settings, you will receive an email. If you fail the exam, please use the 3 day waiting period to retake the exam.

Step 3 - Transferring into an FIR

The final step of this process is transferring into an FIR, and starting your initial training. To transfer, please visit the Transfers page on your VATCAR profile.
