Aviation DG Training School takes Pride in participating in the IATA WCS Conference. We had the honor of participating, and becoming one of the 130 IATA CBTA Centers from around the world, Being part of this prestigious conference was a real privilege.
Here are the key takeaways:
- IATA discussed the upcoming IATA CBTA checklist and its importance. The good news is, that it will soon be available for everyone on IATA’s website, making it accessible to all.
- IATA emphasized that the success of our training sessions won’t just depend on how many people attend. Instead, it will be all about the quality of the training provided by the IATA CBTA Center.
- ATS Accredited Training Schools, now part of CBTA, will not only offer training in Dangerous Goods but can also request CBTA certification for other courses, based on majority voting.
- IATA added to feature of all CBTA providers’ logos on its website. This will make it easy for everyone to find details about CBTA Certified Organizations.
