The training site Entry Point North Belgium is located at the Belgocontrol facilities of Steenokkerzeel/Brussels and equipped with new state-of-the-art simulators: 50 radar/pilot positions, five 180° and one 360° Tower 3D simulator.
It will deliver Initial, Unit, Continuation and Development training for ab-initio and operational air traffic controllers in Belgium. In addition, it will offer Technical Engineering, Safety, Aeronautical Information, Meteorology and other courses in accordance with the training needs of Belgocontrol and other customers.
The training will be based on Entry Point North’s training philosophy and methodology and will be delivered in cooperation with Belgocontrol staff.
