How does the Academy work?

Registration Procedure

For our own training purposes it is highly recommended that you sign up on the academy website. This way we can assign you for practical trainings, and monitor your progress. The system gives us a very good overview of your strong- and weaknesses, and we can adjust our program to suit your training needs.

In the left hand menu on the home page you can find the login module. Please use the Register Here function to create an account. We highly recommend you to have your IVAO VID as username so we can keep a clear overview.

 

My Training

You can start your training by following the academy article order published on the chosen table of contents. Once you feel comfortable, there wil be a subtest every 3/4 chapters for you so you can test your abilities and check your progress yourself. Your results can be found in the user menu. When you have succesfully completed a training course for a given rating, you will be send a message which will include a link to a US division trainer, whom will train you in the practical skills.

 

Article Overview

The articles are layed out using a colored system. Every color has a different purpose:

Test

Once you have completed the required amount of articles, you will be given a link to the small test which you can take to monitor your progress. You will be given a set of 10 randomnly assigned questions. When you have finished your test, you will be given your result automatically. You can also find which article the answer was located as well as how many points you were able to score.

Together with you the trainer will go over the points you feel uncomfortable with or have questions about.

 

Documentation

Appendices are included in the document section. These will contain documents - or links to the online available ones. These documents are more extensive then the academy but require a higher English proficiency, as well as some content is not related to IVAO due to it being an online environment. We do recommend you to keep an eye on these documents when you have questions you can't find in the academy.

 

Questions?

In the questions section you can fill a form with your question or criticism related to the content. We will process your information as quickly as possible.

 

User Menu

In the User Menu you can edit your details, as well as monitor your personal progress on the training website.
