Airport Management Training Course (AMPAP) – Auckland
| Oct | Oct |
| 4 | 8 |
Auckland Airport will be hosting the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) gateway course – Air Transport System – from 4 October to 8 October 2010.
The Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) is the first global programme of its kind. Its successful completion leads to the International Airport Professional (IAP) designation. We have arranged this opportunity as a result of inquiries from members last year regarding opportunities to develop senior airport executive skills and knowledge. This is a well regarded course and qualification, endorsed by ICAO and Airports Council International (ACI). There will not be another opportunity to attend the mandatory ‘gateway’ element of the programme in Australasia for at least two years. Each gateway course draws airport professionals from around the world, with excellent networking opportunities.
Auckland Airport is hosting the gateway course (Air Transport System) from 4rd October to 8th October 2010. This is a face-to-face course, while the three other core mandatory courses (Airport Master Planning, Development and Environmental Management; Airport Commercial and Financial Management; and Airport Operations, Safety and Security) are each conducted online over four week blocks. To complete the accreditation, two elective courses are also required. These are typically five-day face-to-face courses.
The four mandatory courses (including the Auckland course) cost Euros 2150 each (about NZ $3800 at today’s rates). There are application and registration fees totalling Euros 220, and while working towards accreditation there is an annual fee of Euros 150. Take advantage of currency exchange rates! To complete accreditation, two from a growing range of elective courses must be completed. These are typically five-day face-to-face courses costing Euros 1000 to 2000. Candidates need to complete the four mandatory and two elective courses within a three year timeframe to achieve the API designation (but the individual courses are naturally excellent value in their own right, whether or not you want to complete the full qualification).
If you or one of your senior staff is interested, please don’t leave it too long – we understand that the Auckland course is likely to be popular with North American and European airport executives.
