An investment that exceeds its cost

Embarking on the Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) in Global Air Transport Management with IATA Training and the University of St Gallen has been a journey that has proven to be an investment that exceeds its cost. This diploma program is not merely an educational pursuit but a gateway to an enriched understanding of the aviation industry and a key to unlocking job prospects and advancement avenues. This diploma is not just a piece of paper but an endorsement of expertise, a credential that speaks volumes in an industry where competence is non-negotiable. 

I have worked in the aviation Industry for more than 15 years and am currently working as a Movement Operation Assistant in IOM in the United Nations. While delving into the complexities of stakeholder management, the program has uniquely equipped me to cultivate strong relationships that yield mutual benefits. Navigating the dynamic realm of global aviation demands such an ability, and this program is where this skill can be honed.  

I have gained deep knowledge about both external and internal aviation environments impacting daily decision-making and now have the tools and strategies to manage the VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous) environment. I also learned about different business models and strategies within the industry and have insight into how to choose the best model to be successful.     

I highly recommend this flexible diploma program to middle and top-level management teams of Airlines, Airport Authorities, Charter Flight Handling companies, Ground handling agents, Travel Agencies, Tour operators, and Travel managers of international organizations, since it will give them essential tools and strategies to make their everyday lives easier.
