<strong>IATA</strong> selects the week during which worldwide examinations will take place.<br />
The Local Coordinator (LC) organizes examinations in his/her country or area and:<br />
Determines the exact date and location of the examination within the worldwide exam week;<br />
Advises <strong>IATA</strong> of the date of exams and location of examination center(s) one month before the<br />
actual exam date; and<br />
Issues and sends the students’ exam invitation letters to the <strong>ATC</strong>.<br />
The <strong>ATC</strong> is responsible for ensuring that each of its students enrolled in <strong>IATA</strong> Authorized<br />
Courses is provided with a copy of his/her exam invitation letters to be presented to the<br />
Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator on the day of the examination. The <strong>ATC</strong> must<br />
verify the preliminary student list sent to them by the LC prior to the exam session and<br />
notify the LC of any changes required (Please refer to section 6.2).<br />
Examinations for all Authorized Courses must take place on the same day of the assigned<br />
Authorized Program exam week at all locations per country in the LC’s area of responsibility. If<br />
the LC is unable to hold examinations on the same day because of space limitations, the LC must<br />
inform ITDI at least one (1) month before the examination week.<br />
6.2 Change of Exam Session<br />
All <strong>ATC</strong> students are registered for the exam session within enrolment validity peroiod, as<br />
requested in the name list provided by <strong>ATC</strong> and specified in their booking confirmation letter.<br />
All Travel & Tourism, Cargo and Aviation candidates who have failed the first exam attempt are<br />
automatically registered to rewrite their examination at the next exam session, as specified in the<br />
letter accompanying their exam results.<br />
Preliminary Student List prior to each exam session<br />
Approximately six (6) weeks before each exam session, the <strong>ATC</strong> will receive from the <strong>IATA</strong> Local<br />
Coordinator a preliminary list of their students registered for the upcoming exam session. The <strong>ATC</strong><br />
must verify this preliminary list and advise the LC of any changes to the list by completing and<br />
returning the (Student Name) additions & deletions template by the prescribed deadline as specified<br />
by the LC.<br />
For students enrolled in the Travel & Tourism, Aviation or Cargo Training Program:<br />
