IATA TRAINING WITHIN REACH IN NSW

CENTRAL College in Sydney is now welcoming students to upskill with nationally accredited courses after receiving the green light to operate as an authorised IATA Training & Development Institute (ITDI). The campus, located in Redfern, now offers a variety of IATA self-learning and online course modules covering international travel and tourism training, international cargo training and IATA aviation training. An IATA leadership and management training program, and an aviation management course are also available, with all pricing and course conditions set by IATA, based in Montreal. Group Colleges Australia human resources director Gerard Newcombe told travelbulletin that the college caters for students who are looking to enter the industry or complement their existing skill set with courses that are recognised across the country. “Students now have an opportunity to achieve national industry accreditation in a flexible environment that is engaging and effective,” he said, adding that Central College is the only accredited college in NSW. “There are many options for students; all they have to do is choose a course, contact our admissions centre to enrol, and complete the course and final exam, which provides them with accredited training,” Newcombe said. Students can also register for standard courses ranging from certificate level to advanced diploma. Options include a Certificate III in Travel, Diploma of Travel and Tourism and Advanced Diploma of Travel and Tourism.
