IATA Authorized Training Center (ATC) Handbook 1. Introduction 1.1 International Air Transport Association (IATA) The International Air Transport Association (IATA) was founded in 1945 and is the trade association of more than 240 airlines, including the world’s largest. Flights by the Member airlines comprise more than 84% of all international scheduled air traffic. IATA is the successor to the International Air Traffic Association founded in the Hague in 1919 – the year of the world’s first international scheduled air transport services. IATA is the prime facilitator for inter-airline co-operation in promoting safe, reliable, secure and economical air services for the benefit of the world’s consumers. IATA’s head office is in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) and its executive office is in Geneva (Switzerland). IATA also has regional offices around the world. For a list of IATA’s regional offices, please refer to the IATA website at http://www.iata.org/about/offices. 1.2 IATA Training and Development Institute (ITDI) The IATA Training and Development Institute, or “ITDI”, is a division of IATA and a leading source of international training and professional development serving all sectors of the transportation industry: airlines, airports, aviation security, air navigation services, cargo, civil aviation and travel & tourism. Drawing on the expertise of internationally recognized practitioners, including IATA and member organization experts, ITDI develops and maintains an extensive portfolio of travel industry training and professional development programs and courses leading to internationally recognized certificates or diplomas. The IATA diplomas and certificates guarantee high standards of training and have gained worldwide recognition and acceptance as a quality product by the world’s airlines and industry associations. These are important qualifications for anyone wishing to upgrade his/her professional competence or start a career in the travel, cargo or aviation industry. Among ITDI’s training activities are five major distance learning programs: the IATA International Travel and Tourism Training Program which is partly offered in partnership with the United Federation of Travel Agents Association (UFTAA), the IATA International Cargo Training Program, the IATA International Aviation Training Program, the IATA Leadership & Management Training Program offered in partnership with Harvard Business Publishing School and the Stanford - IATA Aviation Management Training Program offered in partnership with Stanford. 1.3 IATA Authorized Training Centers (ATC) While the ability to study independently at home is for some a necessary condition for improving their knowledge and skills, ITDI recognizes that independent study does not suit all students. Partnerships are therefore an essential element of ITDI’s strategy to help individuals around the world develop their potential in key areas. IATA Authorized Training Centers (ATC) are specialized training institutions that are authorized by IATA to teach one or more of the IATA course(s). The ATC may provide Authorized Courses in their classrooms. Authorization to teach these courses is granted based on demonstrated instructional expertise in the courses of interest, as well as the institution’s overall ability to provide quality training. While ATCs recruit and train students for IATA programs, examinations Section 1 – Introduction 1-1
IATA Authorized Training Center (ATC) Handbook are organized by IATA in their country or region. ATCs are also able to distribute the specific IATA courses for which they are authorized to self-study students, provided they are able to offer educational support to these students, should the need arise. 1.4 Minimum Recommended Competencies and Skills for ATC Students In general, to successfully complete any of the above mentioned IATA training programs, it is recommended (not obligatory) that students first complete a secondary school diploma or its equivalent. A good understanding of written English, world geography and basic mathematics is essential for successful study of these courses. Furthermore, the need to confirm that students meet stated program and course requirements makes it necessary to carry out formal examinations. 1.5 IATA Local Coordinators (LC) Local coordinators (LC) are individuals contracted by IATA as local IATA representatives engaged to help ITDI reach its students and carry out specific activities. LCs support ITDI distance learning examinations and are responsible for organizing, administering and supervising the examinations of all registered students with the help of exam invigilator, as needed. However, the LCs and/or exam invigilators are not involved in the exam marking process or in issuing certificates and diplomas. IATA is solely responsible to conduct exam marking and issue certificates and diplomas. Section 1 – Introduction 1-2
