    ATNS AIMO Bursary:

    The training bursary offers each recipient the chance to pursue their studies at the ATNS Aviation Training Academy (ATA) in Bonaero Park. It encompasses the following benefits:

    • Coverage of tuition fees for the ATS Core Content Course
    • Shared accommodation at a guest lodge arranged by ATNS ATA
    • Transportation to and from ATNS ATA as per study and practical needs
    • Daily provision of breakfast, lunch, and dinner
    • A monthly allowance
    • 10 days allocated for non-academic activities as determined by program coordinators

    Upon the successful completion of the initial course at ATNS ATA, ATNS may offer the bursar a six-month fixed-term contract to fulfill essential on-the-job training in either flight planning or aeronautical communications. Acceptance of this contract is a requirement of the bursary. During this period, the bursar will receive a salary but will no longer be eligible for company-provided accommodation, transport, and related benefits. Medical aid and pension benefits are not included during this contract period. Learners will work in shifts and must adhere to their shift schedules punctually.

    3. Be a South African citizen.
    4. Be in good medical condition.

    Bursary Requirements:

    Bursary recipients are expected to successfully complete all modules, courses, and examinations to maintain their bursary. If a bursar does not pass an examination or assessment on the first attempt but achieves a score of more than 50%, they may have the opportunity to rewrite the exam or be reassessed. If they still do not pass, the bursary will be terminated.

    If a bursar chooses not to fulfill the fixed-term contract, ATNS may seek reimbursement for the company's invested funds up to that point. During the fixed-term contract, the bursar is required to complete all necessary validations required to perform solo duties as an AIM Officer. The bursar's performance is continually monitored during this period, with ongoing feedback provided.

    Within one month of the fixed-term contract's conclusion, the line manager will decide whether to offer the learner permanent employment as an AIM Officer with ATNS. Permanent employment includes an AIM Officer salary and full benefits, such as medical aid and pension. Upon accepting the offer, the AIM learner becomes a full-fledged member of ATNS's Aeronautical Information Management team.
