Regulated observer training

Met Office aviation training meets International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements. Courses are focused and intense, so staff are not removed from their operational duties for longer than necessary.

Training is available specifically for meteorological observers working in air traffic control or offshore helicopter operations, with a variety of courses available to meet the specific requirements of these varied environments:

• Aeronautical Meteorological Observing
• Aeronautical Meteorological Observing Refresher
• Restricted Aeronautical Meteorological Observing
• Aeronautical Meteorological Observing Focal Point
• Offshore Meteorological Observing
• Offshore Meteorological Observing Refresher

We also provide training for aviation meteorology.
