5 live virtual classroom courses to be completed in 2 years<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Professional Certificate in Air Transportation Principles and Policy provides professionals with a solid foundation of knowledge about the nexus of government policy and the operating environment of civil aviation. This program is offered jointly by Carleton University’s School of Public Policy and Administration, through its Transportation Policy Innovation Centre, and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Become a policy-savvy expert who truly understands how the air transport industry functions. If you work in the public sector, this certificate will help you hone your public policy development skills as you gain insight into the workings of this important economic sector. On the other hand, if you work in the private sector, you will take your knowledge of your sector of employment to a higher level while you learn how to predict, influence, and implement the regulatory framework that affects every facet of civil aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note, as this is facilitated in partnership with IATA, our training coordinator will be responsible for registering you in all of the certificate courses. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The ability of participants to enroll in any given elective will be subject to that course being offered in virtual format by IATA, based, on having a minimum of five (5) students enrolled in the course (either through the Program or independently through IATA\u2019s normal source of customers) for it to be offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Applicants will be required to communicate their courses at the time of registration from the list above to the registration counsellor. However, applicants will be allowed to make changes to their selected courses during the Program, in consultation with the registration counsellor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please note that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. All elective courses included in the Program have been selected in part for their popularity and frequency of delivery by IATA; <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Every reasonable effort will be made to offer all elective courses selected by participants in the two-year window of their Program; <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Nevertheless, some flexibility will be expected from parti\u00adcipants to adjust their choice and sequence of elective(s), if necessary, consistent with their training needs, in order to register for elective course(s) that IATA will be able to deliver in the remaining time; and <\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. In case of an unforeseen constraint on the part of a participant, CU and IATA will afford them all reasonable flexibility to complete the Program in a manner that meets their needs.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
