6.1 Organization of Exam Sessions<br />

<strong>IATA</strong>, with the assistance of Local Coordinators, organizes exams worldwide several times a year.<br />

For information on the role and function of the LC, please refer to section 1.5 above. For the<br />

scheduled exam dates and exam registration deadlines of each Authorized Program, please refer to<br />

the following links on <strong>IATA</strong>’s website:<br />

<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 />
