IATA - International Air Transport Association

Assalamualaikum,

Today I would like to talk about IATA. What is IATA? IATA is and International Air Transport Association. What is that? What so important about IATA? Well as far as I know you can get a good job, high pay salary and benefit to work in overseas instead working in MALAYSIA. 

The International Air Transport Association is the trade association for the world's airlines. It represents some 240 airlines or more than 84% of total air traffic. IATA support airline activity and helps formulate industry policy and standards. IT is headquartered in Montreal, Canada with executive in Geneva, Switzerland.

So that was some information about IATA. Anyways, YOU can have this IATA COURSE in Malaysia. Based on my experience, I am one of IATA student. If you really love to travel or you love tourism you can take this course. You must love mathematics too. Just a normal basic mathematics (don't worry). 

There are several place where you can learn this course.
List of College that have IATA course :-
Sorry it have to be in Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language). So, This is some of college or institute in Malaysia that have IATA course. One of the best college is Travex College . I am also one of Travex Student.

Travex College is at Plaza Nationwide. You can go there by LRT putra (kelana jaya lane), LRT star (ampang lane), RapidKL bus, Taxi. Where is Travex College located? If you know where is CENTRAL MARKET (pasar seni), for sure you will know where is Travex College.

Back to IATA course. If you study in Travex College the fees will be around RM13k, I am not sure if you can borrow money from government. This is 1 years course, you will learn theory and practical (calculation and abacus) for 8 months and 2 months internship.

After you have register at TRAVEX or any college that you like ABOVE. They will give you TWO books. Which is Textbook 1 (THICK book) and Textbook 2 (THIN book). So you will learn a lot about passport, visa, cars, hotels, how to calculate the routing from origin to destination. It is kinda fun if the lecturer is OK. As far as I know, my lecturer all is very kind, nice and firm. They would want you to study and study until you understand. NEVER EVER missed the class. If you missed any  Ticketing class (calculation), you would not know how to do later on. Trust me, I have been there, so does other student who come only once a week or never come at all.
