EUROCONTROL - European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation

EUROCONTROL is the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation. Created in 1963 by six founding members, this civil and military intergovernmental organisation now counts 38 Member States from across Europe. It is based in Belgium with specialised offices in six other European countries. EUROCONTROL ensures that airspace users and passengers benefit from a safe, expeditious and efficient air transport system in Europe. This is done together with its Member States, air navigation service providers, civil and military airspace users, airports, the aerospace industry, international organisations and the European institutions.

The “Institute of Air Navigation Services” (IANS), located in Luxembourg, develops and delivers Air Traffic Management (ATM) Training for air navigation service providers, civil and military state authorities of EUROCONTROL Member States and EUROCONTROL Agency staff. The Institute was created in 1969. Since its creation IANS has trained more than 40.000 students. The majority of course participants are highly qualified multi lingual adult learners from the EUROCONTROL Member States. IANS proposes courses in various ATM-domains such as Aeronautical Information Management, Airport Throughput, Airspace Management, Data Processing System, Navigation or Safety Management.
