Self-study courses deliver comprehensive instruction to busy aviation and travel industry professionals.
Our training solutions are interactive, learner-friendly, and available in a variety of convenient formats.
These courses require the student to study either with an IATA Partner or on their own with a printed textbook, e-textbook or through e-learning. Students can choose to sit their exams online with remote supervision or go to a physical location to take an examination in a supervised environment.
