Hi Herbert,Becoming a VATSIM controller involves taking an initial written exam and then taking courses both practical and written to understand the basics of ATC.You normally start off on the Cleareance Delivery or Ground and then work your way up.To find out more about becoming a controller, you can visit http://www.vatsim.net/atc/Hope this helps,
