IATA Authorized Training Center (ATC) Handbook 2.5 ATC Instructor Qualifications Dangerous Goods Regulations Courses (DGR) and Management Courses Requiring Technical Expertise The candidate instructor(s) proposed by an ATC seeking authorization to teach an IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations course (DGR) or an IATA management course requiring technical expertise shall meet IATA’s qualification requirements as established for each IATA Training Program. The purpose of the instructors’ qualification requirement is to ensure that the quality of the training offered to students is safeguarded, as it depends on two essential elements: instructional effectiveness and subject matter expertise. ITDI requires that specific information be provided for review and approval, along with the ATC application, as proof of the assigned instructor qualifications on the following courses: IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) – Initial and Recurrent IATA Aviation Training Program – Airline Finance & Accounting Management IATA Aviation Training Program – Airline Revenue Management IATA Aviation Training Program – Ground Operations Management Please refer to Annex 2 to this ATC Handbook for details on IATA’s instructor qualification requirements for the above-mentioned courses. 2.6 ATC Training Standards IATA recognizes that there are many excellent guidelines on instructional techniques available around the world, and training institutions may select any format that meets their needs. In order to be as objective as possible when evaluating instructor competencies, IATA uses the standards developed by the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction (IBSTPI). These standards reflect proven instructional practices as they apply to training, validated by professional practitioners and academics. The ATC’s training services and the ATC’ instructors must meet these standards. Information on IBSTPI and their standards can be obtained at http://www.ibstpi.org 2.7 ATC Lesson Plans Upon request, IATA will provide the ATC, when available, with a sample lesson plan for its Authorized Course(s). The ATC can either use IATA’s sample lesson plan or supplement it with teaching aids and instructional events to enhance learning, or create its own lesson plan. Supplementary “Teaching Aids” are those instructional tools that complement the Training Material for teaching purposes. These supplementary Teaching Aids will include reference books such as atlases, brochures, timetables, Internet sites, videos, etc. The “Instructional Events” are activities that will be used to foster learning and provide additional practice for students. The sample lesson plan provided by IATA will include the following: each module number and title; each module unit number and title; the learning objectives per module; the recommended classroom teaching time per unit, suited to the course content and skill difficulty; scheduled periodic classroom tests, prepared and administered by the instructor.

IATA Authorized Training Center (ATC) Handbook All lesson plans (including Teaching Aids and Instructional Events) made by the ATC hereafter do not have to be submitted to IATA for approval. However, the ATC Instructor’s lesson plan for each IATA Authorized Course should at all times comply with the minimum number of recommended hours and the complete syllabus of the IATA course, as established by IATA from time to time. The ATC shall make every effort to ensure that the information contained in any lesson plan (including Teaching Aids and Instructional Events) is as accurate as possible. Notwithstanding any other provision of the ATC Accreditation Agreement, the ATC agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold IATA, its directors, officers and employees harmless from and against all third party claims, actions, demands, costs, losses or damages, whether direct, indirect or consequential, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, arising out or in connection with any lesson plan (including Teaching Aids and Instructional Events), including any asserted intellectual property rights with respect thereto, all in accordance with the requirements set forth in section 20 of the ATC Accreditation Agreement. 2.8 ATC Audits The ATC will be responsible for duly completing the self-assessment report and returning it to IATA by December 1 of the current year. The self-assessment report template is availale for download from the ATC Resource Site. IATA (or its representative) may audit the ATC premises, including authorized Branch(es), instructors, Courses or teaching procedures upon reasonable written notice to the ATC and during normal business hours. The main purpose of the visit is to ensure that the ATC maintains the standards of instructional quality implied by the authorization. The visit is also important to maintain a good working relationship and personal contact with the ATC leading to more effective communication and partnership growth and development. 2.9 ATC Student Enrollment Requirements Upon becoming an IATA Authorized Training Center, each ATC is required to meet a minimum enrollment of thirty (30) students per full calendar year. 2.9.1 Minimum Requirements per Authorized Program Should an ATC be authorized for more than one Authorized Program, the minimum requirement of thirty (30) students can be summed up across all Authorized Programs, with a minimum of ten (10) student enrollments required in each Authorized Program to retain that specific program authorization. 2.9.2 Minimum Requirement per Authorized Course Should an ATC have no student enrolment for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months in any of the Authorized Courses, the authorization for the said Course(s) will be revoked 2.9.3 Annual Minimum Requirement Applicable to Each ATC Location The minimum requirement of thirty (30) student enrollments applies to each authorized ATC location; i.e. thirty (30) student enrollments for the ATC head office and thirty (30) student enrollments for each Authorized Branch (if applicable). Please note that the total sum of student enrollments across all authorized ATC locations will be considered, when assessing whether the ATC has met its minimum quota for the year, regardless of the actual number of student enrollments per “location”.
