The requirements for the IATA Diploma I am obtaining have changed. Do I need to take more courses to meet the new requirements?
No, the Diploma requirements applicable at the time you applied for the Diploma will be upheld. Contact us should you have any questions or concerns about the requirements for a Diploma.
Can the course(s) I have taken at a Regional Training Partner or in my company be applied to an IATA Diploma?
Yes. Due to the high standards of IATA courses, you can combine any IATA Classroom courses (taken at an IATA Training Center, IATA Regional Training Center or in your company) to earn a Diploma.
Can a course count towards more than one diploma?
No, a course may only count towards a single diploma, with the exception of Required courses. Where a course is listed as an elective course in more than one diploma, this course may only count towards one diploma. This is to ensure that the student will be equipped with the widest knowledge base on the subject whilst providing flexibility to tailor the diploma towards their specific training needs.
I've taken IATA courses as part of an academic program, can they also count towards an IATA diploma?
No, these courses may only count towards the academic program.
Are IATA Diplomas recognized or accredited?
