The CTI program is the other way that the FAA hires controllers, its a group of colleges that you take ATC classes and then go to the FAA academy for like 6 or 8 weeks(something like that).
FAA ATC Career Info
this link goes to the FAA page that has links to both the CTI program and the MCTC-ACTC programs. Both have advantages. Two of the controllers at the airport I work at went to the CTI program, one says that any private pilot would know more then they teach you. Also, a college that is part of the CTI program in PA has its own tower and you can get a tower operators w/ facility rating before graduation
but I have no idea how long it is.
Let me know how the visit to the center was. That is something that I wanna do, and the controllers I know say I should do it, but every time I call LA center they so because of security that they cant allow visits
