Do you want to verify a certificate with a QR code?

The QR code is located at the top right of the certificate.
Validate your certificate by scanning the QR code or uploading your original PDF certificate* using the green buttons below.  

  • If you are using a smartphone, we suggest that you use 'Scan QR code' for optimum results. Ensure your camera lens is clean and fully captures the QR code (hold closer to the lens if necessary).
  • If using a laptop/PC we suggest that you use 'Upload document' for optimum results.

*Please use the original PDF file of your certificate (not a copy) for the validator to recognize your certificate. Please note that your certificate file must not be altered in any way, otherwise, the QR code will return an ‘unverified’ result when using the validation tool. If you need to rename the file, right-click the document in your browser and rename the file. Please do not use the ‘save as function’ in Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, as this will corrupt the file.

Important: The IATA Training certificate validation tool will only recognize certificates:

  • Issued before 1 February 2021 and that are less than 5 years old
  • Where the exams were conducted in a supervised setting (in the classroom or supervised online). Please note that certificates issued for unsupervised online exams cannot be validated by IATA
  • Where there are no outstanding fees to IATA

Please Contact us​ if all the requirements above are met and you are still unable to validate an IATA certificate.

Please note: The IATA Training certificate validation tool cannot validate Diploma certificates (multi-course) including the Leadership and Management diploma.
