NOTE:
The operating procedures and guidelines contained in this handbook and any appendices hereof are subject to changes by IATA from
time to time, in accordance with the terms of the ATC Accreditation Agreement entered into between IATA and each ATC. ATCs should
always act on the basis of any such information with reference to applicable local laws and regulations.
Each defined term used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the ATC Accreditation Agreement, unless otherwise
expressly defined herein.
Effective September 2015

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/Pages/offices.aspx.
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 three major distance learning programs: the IATA International
Travel and Tourism Training Program, the IATA International Cargo Training Program, and the
IATA International Aviation Training Program,
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 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
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 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 or organizations 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.
2. Becoming an IATA ATC
2.1 ATC Handbook

ATCs must maintain high quality standards, adhering to the terms and conditions set out in the ATC
Accreditation Agreement and the procedures and guidelines described therein and in this ATC
Handbook.
Any amendments and updates of this ATC Handbook will be notified to the ATCs as per the terms
of the ATC Accreditation Agreement and will be made available in a downloadable format in an
extranet site, which provides password-protected access to a private area exclusively for ATCs
called the ATC Resource Site (for information on how to request access to this site, please refer to
section 2.11). The ATC shall be informed of such updates via e-mail and shall have the
responsibility of downloading the updated or amended version immediately upon notice.
Such amendments and updates are agreed to form an integral part of the ATC Handbook in
accordance with the terms of the ATC Accreditation Agreement.
2.2 ATC Application Form

Institutions wishing to apply for ATC status and accreditation can obtain an application form from
IATA, by contacting the Manager, Training Partners and Business Development at the following
address: atcinfo@iata.org or by visiting the IATA website at
http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/atc_ats.aspx and downloading the IATA ATC application form.
2.3 ATC Authorization Process And Fees

All ATC accreditations will be issued and confirmed using a single ATC Accreditation Agreement for
all authorized Programs, Courses and locations (head office, and branches if applicable) covered
under the accreditation being expressly listed in a schedule to the ATC Accreditation Agreement.
The ATCs’ accreditation is renewable automatically every year in accordance with, and subject to
the provisions of the ATC Accreditation Agreement, provided the ATC has met the requirements for
renewal then in effect, including as stipulated in section 2.9 of this ATC Handbook.
2
Upon meeting those requirements and remitting payment of the applicable Fees for the year in
effect, the ATC Authorization will be renewed and a new ATC Certificate will be issued.
ATC, joining the IATA ATC network, must pay a one-time ATC network access fee in the amount as
prescribed by IATA in the “Information, Conditions and Authorization Fees” pricelist available in a
downloadable format on the IATA website at http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/atc_ats.aspx. The
ATC network access fee shall be payable upon signature of the ATC Accreditation Agreement, and
within thirty (30) days from the date of IATA’s invoice.
The annual authorization fee and branch fee, as applicable, is the amount as prescribed by IATA in
the “Information, Conditions and Authorization Fees” pricelist available in a downloadable format on
the IATA website at http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/atc_ats.aspx. The annual authorization fee
and branch fee, as applicable, shall be payable no later than thirty (30) days from the date of IATA’s
invoice.
2.3.1 ATC COURSE REGISTRY

Upon being approved for one or more of IATA’s training programs, the ATC’s specific Authorized
Courses will be recorded in the ATC Course Registry. This ATC Course Registry is the IATA
database of all Authorized Courses, as published on the IATA website.
2.3.2 Modification to ATC Authorization

Should an ATC wish to modify its existing ATC authorization by:
 Adding/removing an Authorized Course to a currently Authorized Program,
 Adding/removing an Authorized Program, or
 Adding/removing an Authorized Branch,
The ATC will complete and submit the applicable ATC modification form for Additional Program,
Course or Branch provided in Annex 1A and Annex 1B to this ATC Handbook and available for
download on the ATC Resource Website.
 Modification to Authorized Programs and Branches will be made in accordance with
section 6.3 of the ATC Accreditation Agreement. These changes which consist of adding or
removing an Authorized Program or an Authorized Branch will be reflected in the “ATC
Amendment Schedule” which will replace the existing Schedule A attached to the ATC
Accreditation Agreement. The “ATC Amendment Schedule” template attached hereto as
Annex 1B.
 Modification to Authorized Courses will be made in accordance with section 6.4 of the
ATC Accreditation Agreement. These changes which consist of adding or removing an
Authorized Course in a currently Authorized Program will be recorded in the ATC Course
Registry.
IATA will then issue a new ATC Certificate listing all Authorized Programs, Authorized Courses and
Authorized Branches, and update the ATC Course Registry.
Any such change shall only become effective once all conditions set forth in the ATC Accreditation
Agreement will have been met.
2.4 ATC STANDING AND PREMISES

ATCs are required to:
 Demonstrate they are operating a recognized training institution, i.e., that training
constitutes one of institution’s areas of business involvement.
3
 Have premises and classrooms at a fixed location. Maintain premises and classroom
facilities at an acceptable standard.
 Demonstrate that premises are equipped with all tools and furniture needed to offer an
environment that supports learning, including without limitation: hygienic toilet, canteen or lounge
facilities for the use of the students during lunch breaks.
 Have a commercial website and provide the website address to IATA.
ATCs are recommended to (but not obliged):
 Have and regularly maintain updated copies of the industry publications (tariffs and
guides), as applicable, required for offering the Authorized Program and teaching the Authorized
Courses.
2.5 ATC Instructor Qualifications

The candidate instructor(s) proposed by an ATC seeking authorization to teach a course 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 for every course:
Please refer to Annex 2 to this ATC Handbook for details on IATA’s instructor qualification
requirements.
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 their internal
subject matter experts to evaluate the applications. The ATC’s training services and the ATC’
instructors must meet IATA standards.
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.
4
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 online self-assessment report and returning it to
IATA by December 1 of the current year. The self-assessment report template is available 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 recommended to meet an
enrollment quota 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 recommended enrollment
of thirty (30) students can be summed up across all Authorized Programs.
2.9.2 Annual Minimum Requirement Applicable to Each ATC Location

The recommended enrollment of thirty (30) students 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 recommended quota for the year,
regardless of the actual number of student enrollments per “location”.
2.10 Annual ATC Authorization/Accreditation Renewal

In order to obtain its authorization renewal, the ATC shall be evaluated on the following 3 criteria:
 The number of students enrolled in the preceding year
 .The average exam pass rate of their students
5
 ATC involvement in IATA engagement activity in addition to local market engagement

At the beginning of each calendar year, IATA will send an annual authorization fee invoice for
payment in accordance with the terms of the ATC Accreditation Agreement. Should the
Organization’s performance on the above 3 criteria be insufficient, IATA reserves the right to
revoke, terminate or not to renew specific Authorized Programs or Authorized Courses.
2.11 ATC Resource Site

Upon accreditation, the ATC shall become a registered user of the ATC Resource Site
www.iata.org/workgroups/Pages/atc-network.aspx. The ATC Resource site is a dedicate website for
exclusive use by ATCs which serves as repository of various documents for the ATC use.
Please refer to Annex 3 to this ATC Handbook for the ATC Resource Site User Guide.
2.12 Important IATA Contact Information

In order to process ATC queries efficiently and within the shortest possible delay, ITDI strongly
recommends that ATCs only use the following emails based on the nature of their request:
 For all student enrollment queries atcse@iata.org
 For all exam queries examstraining@iata.org
 For all ATC authorization queries atcinfo@iata.org
3. Selling and Promoting IATA Courses
3.1 IATA Training Course Descriptions

The following link provides a more detailed description of the intended audience, benefits, and
content for each of the Authorized Courses: http://www.iata.org/training/delivery/Pages/distance-
learning.aspx.
3.2 IATA Training Kits (Printed and/or Ebooks)

The Training Material for the various Authorized Courses is shipped as a kit. Most kits include a
Course guide that offers detailed study guidelines and selected model exam questions and
answers. Each subject of the Training Material is covered in detail with numerous examples and
exercises. Students should use the exercises to monitor their progress. Answers to all exercises are
included in the Training Material.
3.3 ATC Student Enrollment/Training Kits Fees and Other Fees

ATCs are offered preferential pricing for the purchase of training kits. Only authorized ATCs will
have access to these preferential prices. The ATC price list, specific to each training Program, also
contains information on shipping fees, exam fees and miscellaneous fees (referred to as the Activity
Fees in the ATC Accreditation Agreement) and is made available online on the ATC Resource Site
at: www.iata.org/workgroups/Pages/atc-network.aspx.
6
3.4 ATC Promotion of IATA Authorized Courses

The ATC’s understanding of local conditions and characteristics is invaluable to help IATA improve
its product and services and create maximum program awareness. ATCs are expected to assist
IATA by actively promoting the Authorized Program(s) within their Territory.
ATCs can promote the IATA Authorized Courses (but only those for which they have received
authorization) as follows, subject to the provisions of the ATC Accreditation Agreement:
 mailing brochures and application information to the public and industry professionals;
 attending local trade conferences and exhibitions;
 advertising in their local newspapers;
 participating in promotional efforts with IATA;
 publishing articles in local trade journals;
 organizing diploma/certificate ceremonies (with invitations to the local press).
To support such efforts, IATA will provide ATCs with course brochures, flyers and posters of IATA
products and services (referred to as marketing collateral).
3.5 ATC Advertising

IATA and its training programs have an excellent worldwide reputation. The IATA name and logo
are well known for the quality and professionalism of its services and products.
To assist the ATC in the promotion of the IATA training programs, an IATA ATC logo has been
created. The ATC shall use the IATA ATC logo in accordance with the ATC Accreditation
Agreement, the provisions below, and IATA policies, guidelines and technical specifications for logo
use and corporate brand.
The ATC is required to respect these guidelines and to report any fraudulent use of the IATA name
and the IATA ATC logo, by providing IATA with a copy of the promotional item in question. This
applies to both ATCs and non-ATCs. IATA requests, however, that the ATC refrain from entering
into any discussion with the non-complying third party without IATA’s prior written consent at its sole
discretion.
4. IATA ATC LOGO USAGE GUIDELINES
Since its establishment in 1945, IATA has been recognized worldwide as a global organisation
representing the air transportation industry. In order to maintain the reliability of the IATA
accreditation, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the official IATA ATC logo, which can be
accomplished only if the logo is used properly and unauthorised or inadvertent misuse avoided. The
following guidelines have been developed to demonstrate authorised use of the IATA ATC logo.
Electronic versions of the approved logo are available upon request. Please contact the Manager –
Training Partners and Business Development for more information.
Below is the only admissible presentation of the logo.
7
The IATA ATC logo is the property of IATA and shall be used exclusively on promotional materials
developed for the IATA distance-learning courses. The IATA ATC logo does not infer or imply a joint
venture or any other form of partnership with IATA. IATA reserves the right to modify its rules and
restrictions of use of the IATA ATC logo at any time. The ATCs cannot bind IATA or its partners in
any manner whatsoever. The IATA ATC logo may not be used as part of a trade name or company
registration.
Please always make sure to use logos from the master files supplied to you. These masters must
never be altered in any way.
Please refer to Section 4 hereunder for incorrect uses of the logo.
4.1 For Colour or Black & White Applications

The logo may only be reproduced in IATA green, blue, black or white. No other colour variations are
permitted. Every component of the logo must appear in the same colour: the logo may only appear
all in blue, green, all in white or all in black.
4.2 Alternate Presentations in Forced White Background

When the logo appears on a background that is cluttered or offers insufficient contrast, it may be
placed in a white frame to force a white background.
4.3 Colour
Blue and green are the official colours of the IATA ATC logo. The appropriate recipes are provided
in Pantone, CMYK and RGB.
4.4 Incorrect Logo Use

Illegal use of the IATA ATC logo will cause the ATC authorization to be withdrawn immediately. In
such cases, there will be no refund for the authorization or annual fees. Permission to use the IATA
ATC logo will automatically expire in the event that the authorization granted to the ATC is
terminated.
8
Below are a few examples of incorrect uses of the logo, which must be avoided:
 The logo may not appear on a cluttered background;
 The positions of the various elements of the logo may never be altered;
 The typography in the logo may never be altered in any way;
 The logo may not appear on a background that results in insufficient or variable contrast;
 Shadow effects may never be added to the logo;
 The logo may never be used to create a repeat pattern;
 The logo may never appear on a patterned background that impedes its legibility;
 The logo may not be distorted in any way.
4.5 Logo Usage: Impact

Protection Space: The logo should always be surrounded by a protection space, which must be at
least the size of the letter “A” in the IATA word mark. This space must remain free of any graphic or
typographic elements.
Minimum size: To ensure legibility at all times, the width of the “wingspan” symbol within the logo
may not be less than 0.4 inches (10.16 mm) in print applications, and 29 pixels in web applications.
4.6 Logo Usage: Proportional Sizing

In order to represent the appropriate relationship between the ATC’s logo and the “IATA ATC” logo,
the following applies:
 The IATA ATC logo should not be bigger than your ATC logo;
 Ideally, the IATA ATC logo should occupy half the visual space of your ATC logo.
4.7 Logo Usage: Incorrect Substitutions

The IATA ATC logo may NOT be substituted for any other logo in the IATA family. This includes the
IATA logo without the “ATC” qualifier, the former IATA logo with the rounded box and the IATA
dynamic sky and logo.
4.8 Applications: Print Marketing Materials

The IATA ATC logo is designed to identify ATCs. IATA will provide all ATCs with examples of the
IATA ATC logo to be used in their advertising and marketing of the IATA Authorized Course(s).
In exclusive advertisements (i.e. ads for IATA Authorized courses only), the IATA ATC logo should
be used.
In non-exclusive advertisements (i.e. ads featuring IATA courses as well as other ATC products),
the IATA ATC logo may only be used if it is clear that the authorization pertains to the IATA-
approved courses and not to any other product/course offered by the ATC.
The Authorized Training Center ID Number must always be indicated in any exclusive or non-
exclusive advertisement for the IATA training program.
The IATA ATC logo may not appear on a product-oriented communication piece, nor may it be
placed next to a product logo.
To avoid confusion, the logo may not appear on training materials, training certification,
publications, conference materials or other materials related to services offered by IATA.
9
On print communications involving another organization, the IATA ATC logo should be the same
size as the organization’s logo or smaller, at the bottom left of the piece, at the same level as the
logo of the ATC signing the communication, in keeping with the size-proportion guidelines
discussed earlier.
Samples of all advertisements, forms, and brochures, promotional or print materials using the IATA
ATC logo must be submitted to IATA at least ten (10) working days prior to final print and
distribution, in accordance with the terms of the ATC Accreditation Agreement.
If uncertainty arises concerning the use of the “IATA ATC” logo, please submit the piece for review
to IATA Brand Management at infobranding@iata.org.
4.9 Applications: Corporate Stationary

On ATC stationary pieces such as letterhead, fax cover sheets, press releases and business cards,
the IATA ATC logo should appear at the bottom left, aligned with the IATA ATC logo and body copy,
in keeping with the size-proportion guidelines discussed earlier. The IATA ATC logo may not be
used on letterhead as the predominant logo or in any way that might indicate a relationship with
IATA other than that of an ATC.
The IATA ATC logo may be placed on envelopes only if it appears in the back, in keeping with our
size-proportion guidelines.
4.10 Applications: Web Communications

Use of the IATA ATC logo on the Internet must be restricted to ATC sections of your website. When
in use, the IATA ATC logo may appear at the bottom left of the page, at the same level as the
corporate logo signing the communication, in keeping with the size-proportion guidelines specified
earlier. The IATA ATC logo may not appear on a product-oriented web page, nor may it be placed
next to a product logo.
When using the IATA ATC logo on the Web, it is recommended to program it to link to the following
address: http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/atc_ats.aspx.

shipped. An online ATC order is deemed received when all information has been received.
5.4 Enrollment Validity Period

Upon receiving payment of ATC student enrollment/training kit fees and processing the student
enrollment, the enrollment validity period for each enrolled student begins from the day of course
purchase. This period is the time during which a student is entitled to sit for his/her two (2) exam
attempts.
The purpose of the enrollment validity period is to ensure that the Authorized Course’s Training
Material remain current and relevant.
The enrolment validity period for all Distance Learning courses is six (6) exam sessions from the
first available session after the purchase; however, for Dangerous Goods Regulations, the
enrolment validity period is four (4) exam sessions from the first available session after the
enrolment.
5.5 Orders created With Or Without Student Names

ATCs can choose to create an order and not register any students at the time of purchase. They will
have until the registration deadline to register students for the next exam session.
12
5.5.1 Orders Received and Students registered

(a) Student names are recorded in the system and a Username and a Booking ID number is
assigned to each student.
(b) The date of enrollment is recorded and the enrollment validity period begins from the first
available exam session.
(c) Kits are prepared for shipping. Each shipment of kits contains the ATC name. (Please refer to
section 5.7 below)
5.5.2 Orders Received without Student Names

(a) The order is recorded.
(b) The date of enrollment is recorded and the enrollment validity period begins from the first
available exam session following the purchase.
(c) Kits are prepared for shipping. Each shipment of kits contains the ATC name
(d) Once the ATC has identified students to assign to these kits, the ATC registers students in the
LMS with the order number and the enrolment key. The ATC must register the students no later
than the published exam registration deadline.
(e) A booking confirmation letter is issued by the system for each student and sent to the ATC by
email.
(f) Please note that unless the ATC registers the students to kits initially purchased without student
names, those students will not receive booking confirmation letters and consequently will not be
registered for an exam session.
Students must be reminded to keep and carefully store their booking confirmation letter, as it
contains important information. (please refer to section 5.7 below)
The ATC is not permitted to submit payment on behalf of students for courses the ATC is not
authorized to teach. In such cases, students must apply as self-study students and complete an
individual student order online, including their personal mailing address, and submit their order
together with their payment information.
5.6 Student Enrollment and Exam Registration Deadlines

Information on student enrollment and exam registration deadlines for the IATA examinations in
each of the Training Programs is available on the IATA website at:
www.iata.org/training/Pages/exam-schedule.aspx
Please note that this information is updated on a yearly basis. Please refer to the IATA website for
current information.
5.7 Student Enrollment Letter / Booking Confirmation

Once a student is booked, the system generates a booking confirmation that is automatically
forwarded to the ATC. The booking confirmation letter states the enrollment validity period and the
next available exam session for which the student is registered. For an example of a distance
learning booking confirmation letter, please refer to Annex 5.
It is recommended that the ATC keep a copy of their students’ booking confirmation letters as they
contain important information.
Note: For change of exam session, please refer to section 6.2 below
13
5.8 Transfer of Enrollment

Requests for enrollment transfers (assigning a new student name to an existing client ID) only apply
to ATC-enrolled students. Student enrollment transfer requests must first be submitted by the ATC
to IATA for approval. The ATC can request a student transfer provided that:
1. The student’s enrollment validity period has not expired.
2. The enrollment has not been previously transferred.
3. The original student has not used any of his/her examination attempts, including “No Show”
record.
4. The enrollment transfer is for the same course in the same language.
5. The ATC has resolved any outstanding issue with the original student.
6. It is understood that the enrollment validity period will not be extended.
Enrollment transfers do not influence the enrollment validity period. The student’s enrollment validity
period will be based on the date at which the kit was initially purchased and not on the date of the
transfer. A request for enrollment transfer must be received and processed by IATA before
the exam registration deadline.
5.9 Change of Student Name

Change of student name will be accepted upon presentation of official documentation to IATA; for
example, following marriage or change in religion. Notice must be submitted prior to an exam
session..
6. IATA EXAMINATIONS
6.1 Organization of Exam Sessions

IATA, with the assistance of Local Coordinators, organizes exams worldwide several times a year.
For information on the role and function of the LC, please refer to section 1.5 above. For the
scheduled exam dates and exam registration deadlines of each Authorized Program, please refer to
the following links on IATA’s website:
www.iata.org/training/Pages/exam-schedule.aspx
The Calendar is also available on the LMS Dashboard.
IATA selects the week during which worldwide examinations will take place.
The Local Coordinator (LC) organizes examinations in his/her country or area and:
 Determines the exact date and location of the examination within the worldwide exam week;
 Advises IATA of the date of exams and location of examination center(s) one month before the
actual exam date; and
 Issues and sends the students’ exam invitation letters to the ATC.
The ATC is responsible for ensuring that each of its students enrolled in IATA Authorized
Courses is provided with a copy of his/her exam invitation letters to be presented to the
Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator on the day of the examination. The ATC must
verify the exam registration list using reports on the LMS. (Please refer to section 6.2).
14
Examinations for all Authorized Courses must take place on the same day of the assigned
Authorized Program exam week at all locations per country in the LC’s area of responsibility. If
the LC is unable to hold examinations on the same day because of space limitations, the LC must
inform ITDI at least one (1) month before the examination week. Students can take only one exam
per exam session.
6.2 Change of Exam Session

All ATC students are registered for the exam session within the enrolment validity period.
All Travel & Tourism, Cargo and Aviation candidates who have failed the first exam attempt must be
registered to rewrite their examination at the next exam session by the ATC,.
For any questions regarding the exam session, ATCs should contact the IATA exams team at
examstraining@iata.org.
6.3 Change of Country

An ATC enrolled student can choose to change exam venue before the exam registration deadline.
The ATC must ensure that the student receives the information about the new exam venue.
6.3.1 Change of Address Within the Same Country
ITDI will accept a change of address within the original country. The ATC must update all
necessary information in the user profile in the LMS, including:
 Full name
 Booking ID
 Previous address
 New address
 New telephone number
 E-mail address
6.3.2 Change of Address to a different country

ITDI will accept a change of the address to a different country for a student. The ATC must update
all necessary information in the user profile in the LMS, including
 Full name
 Booking ID
 Previous address
 New address
 New telephone number
 E-mail address
Changes in country do not influence the enrolment period. The student's enrolment period will be
based on his/her initial enrolment and not on the date of the change of country.
If the student wishes to sit the upcoming examination in the new country, the change of country
must be processed in the system by the ATC by the examination registration deadline (refer to
Section 6.3).
15
6.4 Examination Format

Examination papers are prepared and marked by IATA. The questions are similar to those
contained in the training materials. Each examination is either open or closed course book,
according to each Authorized Program, and may include appropriate exhibits as necessary. For
details on the examination format of each Training Program, please refer to the following links on
IATA’s website:
 Travel & Tourism Training Program: http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/Exam-Info.aspx
 Cargo Training Program: http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/Exam-Info.aspx
 Aviation Training Program: http://www.iata.org/training/Pages/Exam-Info.aspx
6.5 Important Exam Notes

 The examination pass rate of the respective ATC students shall be consistent with an
acceptable worldwide range of exam pass rates over a period of two (2) years, based on IATA’s
statistical reports.
 Students have a maximum of two (2) attempts to pass the examination within the enrollment
validity period.
 If students fail the same examination twice, their enrollment is automatically cancelled.
6.6 Day of The Examination

To be admitted to the examination, the student will need to present the following to the Local
Coordinator and/or exam invigilator:
 exam invitation letter (sent by the Local Coordinator to the ATC);
 Booking ID and/or Username which is indicated on the exam invitation letter;
 An official identity card with photograph;
The Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilators required to verify each student’s eligibility and
identity before she/he is allowed to sit the examination.
All formal examination materials (papers, answer sheets, etc.) will be provided. The students are
only allowed to take the following materials with them into the examination room:
 Pens (students should plan to have two);
 Ruler;
 Language dictionary;
 Silent non-programmable pocket calculator;
Mobile phones, pagers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), pocket PCs are allowed but must
remain switched off at all times during the examination.
Please note that the Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator cannot answer questions concerning
the examination.
All exam questions and answer booklets and accompanying documents must be returned to the
Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator at the end of the exam session.
Students registered for online exams will, in addition, need their username and password.
16
6.7 Important Measures to Counteract Cheating

Cheating mainly occurs when candidates can easily communicate with each other. Candidates,
therefore, must not:
 leave the room unaccompanied during the examination;
 take papers out of the examination room;
 be left alone, even for a few minutes;
As stated above, all exam questions and answer booklets and accompanying documents
must be returned to the Local Coordinator and/or exam invigilator at the end of the exam
session. Blank pages, which are provided for note taking, can be transcribed with exam questions
and easily transmitted around the world, giving information on the content of the exam papers to
other candidates in locations where the exam is taking place later in the week.
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.
6.8 Examination Results

Student examinations for the Authorized Courses are marked according to the following grading
system:
Student Student
Pass Distinction
Travel & Tourism (all courses except the below)) 60% 85%
—GDS Fares and Ticketing 60% 85%
Cargo (Cargo Introductory / Air Cargo Rating) 60% 90%
DGR (DGR Initial / DGR Recurrent) 80% 90%
Aviation (all courses) 60% 90%
Final examination results will be sent to the ATC and Local Coordinator no later than ten (10) weeks
after the exam.
A personal letter with “pass-fail-distinction” results is addressed to each student and sent via e-mail
to the ATC for distribution. Successful candidates receive their diploma or certificate.
 IATA is responsible for preparing and marking all examinations;
 Marked examination papers are not returned to students;
 Scores are not provided
 IATA regrets it cannot enter into correspondence with ATCs, or students, concerning individual
student examination results or any other details concerning the marks obtained.
 All results are final.
17
Should a student fail an examination the first time, the student will have a second chance to re-sit
for the examination, provided this is done within the enrollment validity period. If the student is no
longer enrolled with the ATC, the student should be given access to his/her student account.
6.9 Copies of Diplomas/Certificates

A student can obtain a copy of a lost Diploma or Certificate initially issued after the year 2000 from
IATA by sending a request with the following information:
 Full name;
 Client ID Number;
 Country and year in which the examination was taken, and
 Complete address (with telephone number) where the Diploma or Certificate must be shipped.
An administrative fee of 100$ will be charged to prepare and forward all copies of a Diploma or
Certificate.
