GCAS becomes exclusive provider of IATA courses in UAE

The new courses will allow delegates from the aviation industry to enroll in world-class training programmes without travelling out of the region, saving time and money for airports and airlines.

The newly introduced courses will cover a wide range of topics including airlines, airport, cargo, management, regulatory, and safety and security, which are aimed at extending knowledge and sharpening skills to improve the human performance throughout the operation at the airport and the aviation industry.

IATA courses cover both vocational and technical training needs, offering a wide range of specialised content to achieve professional goals in a cost effective manner. IATA caters to the need of candidates starting a career in aviation, or seeking advanced management training at managerial levels.

One key programme delivered now at GCAS is the Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO), which was adopted by IATA to improve safety and cut airline costs by drastically reducing ground accidents and injuries. The ISAGO programme is an audit system conducted in a standardised and consistent manner, using internationally recognised quality auditing principles.

Commenting on this announcement, Dr. Othman Al Khouri, deputy general manager of GCAS, said: “Becoming the exclusive provider of world class IATA courses in the UAE, in addition to becoming the first TRAINAIR Plus certified centre in the world last month, puts GCAS on track to becoming the leading aviation training centre in the region.  We look forward to welcoming delegates from airports and airlines across the Middle East to these new and unique courses to further advance the skills of the aviation and airport industry in the region.”
