We could give you a better answer if you gave us locations, CTO's, etc.
Seems the same in reverse too, I've looked at a few countries and none I saw honor CTO certs from the FAA to get hired.
yeah I looked into Canada and they had crazy citizen requirements and said nothing about FAA certsSeems the same in reverse too, I've looked at a few countries and none I saw honor CTO certs from the FAA to get hired.

You can view it in one of two ways, they don't accept foreign experience or you don't possess the minimum qualifications to be considered for a prior experience bid. On the bid they state minimum qualifications as...
Given what you posted above, you don't qualify for the bid. With prior experience new hires going direct to a facility, individual facilities are not set up to train and educate the basic nuances of FAA vs ICAO procedures like the academy is. As a US citizen you are still eligible for the all source bids and would go to the academy for basics. Did you apply to the last All Source bid in July?
- a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) air traffic control facility; OR
- a civilian or military air traffic control facility of the Department of Defense; OR
- a tower operating under contract with the FAA under section 47124
The N90 bid is unique in the fact it's not your typical academy experience. You have to be ready from day one. There is no basics.Yes, I applied to the OTS bid, just hoped for the experienced route. However, I heard that for example the current experienced bid for New York Tracon, requires everyone to go through training in OKC again anyway. It's pretty much impossible to get an accurate statement by the FAA.

RTF is only 4 weeks from start to finish and is pass/fail.
If you pass, you then move on to TSEW (Terminal Radar Approach Control Skill Enhancement Workshop) then an N90 specific class.
In terms of the all source bid, are you a prior veteran (Pool 1) or did you have to apply via Pool 2 and are waiting to see if you passed the biographical assessment?
