Authorized Training Centres (ATC)

Authorized Training Centres are organisations specialised in training that are authorized to teach one or more of the IATA Travel & Tourism Training, IATA/FIATA Cargo Training, and IATA Aviation Distance Learning course(s). With approximately 260 ATCs located in more than 60 countries, these independent training facilities are renown around the world for their high academic standards in training business professionals in the fields of travel and tourism, cargo, airports, airlines and civil aviation.

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. ATCs recruit and train students, while examinations are organized and supervised by the IATA local coordinator located in your country or region. Find an ATC near you by using our search query tool.

Each Authorized Training Centre is permitted to set its own fee and course structure, independent of the IATA Travel & Tourism, IATA/FIATA Cargo, and IATA Aviation self-study structure. However, examinations cover only the IATA Travel & Tourism, IATA/FIATA or IATA Aviation Distance Learning course content.
