We’re delighted to announce that we have been selected as a partner school for an English language programme for air traffic controllers (ATCs), set up by the French Civil Aviation Authority, using trainers in the UK, Ireland, and Jersey. This is the largest contract of its kind in this sector, encompassing 800–850 trainees annually over the next five years. The aim of the programme is to provide structured English classes with a focus on aviation.
Our first ATC, Franck, joined us in October, following a programme of General English classes, one-to-one tuition and afternoon & evening activities. As part of his visit we also arranged for him to visit the Jersey airport air traffic control tower, where he met Ports of Jersey colleagues, listened in to their comms and observed their work. Franck said he enjoyed his visit:
“It was very useful to be in that environment and everyone was really welcoming. It was great to observe a busy time of three consecutive incoming flights.”
We look forward to welcoming our next ATCs in the coming weeks.

The International Civil Aviation Organisation standards require all air traffic controllers to speak English, and/or the official language of their native country. Air traffic controllers in France must be able to speak both French and English. We value hosting colleagues from neighbouring ATC sectors, as it helps us to understand the procedures and challenges of each other’s airspace.
A passport is required for all visitors to Jersey. You should ensure there is sufficient validity on your passport to cover your trip.
Visitors coming to Jersey via UK will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) from April 2025. Visitors coming directly to Jersey from the E.U. will not need an ETA until late 2025.
You should check the travel requirements with your travel agent or airline / ferry operator.
Once your course has been confirmed you will need to pay a deposit of £200. At least 4 weeks before the course starts you will need to pay the remainder of the course fee. St Brelade’s College reserves the right to refuse to provide services to students if the course fees have not been paid.

Course fee refunds are made in £GBP to the same card or account used to make the original payment. St Brelade's College accepts no responsibility for any difference in the final amount received due to changes in the underlying exchange rate.
We strongly advise students to take out insurance at the time of booking the trip. This should ensure cover if the student needs to cancel the course before departure or during their stay due to factors such as illness (e.g. Covid-19), emergency medical expenses, travel costs and personal belongings etc. Special insurance for language course students can be purchased from some insurance providers.
Students must pay at least 25% deposit in advance and the balance at least 4 weeks before arrival. In the event that the application is unsuccessful the deposit is returned less a £100 administration fee.
