Prerequisites

IATA requires that attendees of IAT meet certain prerequisites prior to registration. These prerequisites vary depending on whether an individual is sponsored by AO or not.

The prerequisites for AO sponsored IOSA Auditor candidates can be found on our IOSA Auditor Qualifications page and in Section 3 of the IOSA Program Manual (IPM), which is available on the IOSA website.

The prerequisites for individuals that are not sponsored by an AO are more relaxed. These individuals need only be sufficiently qualified and experienced in aviation and auditing so as to be capable of understanding and contributing to all course activities and exercises.
