ATC Handbook - IATA

IATA Authorized Training Center (ATC) Handbook
If there is suspicion that a candidate(s) is cheating during the examination, the Local Coordinator
and/or exam invigilator is authorised to immediately remove the exam paper from the candidate(s)
and have the candidate(s) dismissed from the examination room. The candidate(s) will not be
permitted to write any further examinations that day and will receive an automatic “fail” grade for the
entire course, following receipt of the Local Coordinator’s and/or exam invigilator’s s official report of
the incident at IATA.
In the markers’ point of view, if there is suspicion of co-operation amongst candidates, or a
possibility that the answers or other help were given to the candidates, the examination session at
the center concerned will be put under investigation with the possibility of declaring the whole
examination session invalid.
