The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is offering courses in India to serve the aviation and travel related training needs in the South Asia region.
“There is a huge demand from India for our training programmes. Between 2006 and 2008, India was among the top three countries in terms of the participants. By offering training courses in India, we will be better able to serve the aviation and travel related training needs in India, as well as Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Indian participants will also find it easier to get access to our globally recognized training programmes,” said Amitabh Khosla, IATA’s Country Director for India.
Twelve courses have been scheduled in 2009, with the inaugural course – Professional Skills for Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) Instructors – commencing on 23 February. Other courses planned for 2009 include air cargo management, airline emergency planning and response management, and security management systems.
The IATA Training and Development Institute (ITDI) currently offers a continuously expanding portfolio of over 400 courses and a wide range of diplomas in the fields of Airlines, Airports, Civil Aviation, Air Navigation Services, Cargo, Safety and Security, as well as Management and Training Skills for every level - from entry level to senior managers.
