The IATA Training Validation Program (TVP) enables organizations across the aviation industry to assess and improve workplace learning capacity, develop learning facilitators and specialists, and to provide their workforce with high-quality and effective training that meets international standards.
The importance of training your employees – both new and experienced – really cannot be overemphasized!
The TVP consists of certification at three (3) levels:

Recognition of a Training Organization
The Recognition of a Training Organization (TVP-Organization) certification allows organizations to assess and improve their training system, standards, and quality management in the critical areas of operations in the organization. It provides an organization with the opportunity to acquire “Center of Excellence – Training Organization” recognition from IATA, attesting that the workplace’s learning program is benchmarked against and meets IATA's training standards.
Validation of a Training Course
The Validation of a Training Course (TVP-Course) certification allows organizations to assess and improve the initial and continuous qualification program, instructional materials, and content in aviation operational-related training courses in the areas of security, safety, cargo, ground operations, facilitation, environment, economics, etc. It provides an organization with the opportunity to acquire a ‘Certificate of Validation’ from IATA, attesting that their training course is benchmarked against and meets IATA's training standards. It provides an organization with the opportunity to award their employees with co-branded IATA course certificates.
Qualification of a Learning Facilitator
The Qualification of a Learning Facilitator (TVP-Facilitator) certification allows an organization to develop learning facilitators and equip them with the competencies to deliver effective training and perform assessment within the workplace. Facilitators will increase their effectiveness by developing their skills to create and deliver systematic learning plans and assessment records. Facilitators will follow a skills gap analysis and designated training with on-the-job coaching. Facilitators will receive an IATA Diploma in ‘Learning Facilitator’ upon completion of the learning and final practicum project.
