IATA recognises that you have invested a lot, both financially and in terms of personal effort.
Many students enrolled in the Foundation Course have already passed one of two exam papers, but now require a third sitting to successfully achieve an overall passing grade.
IATA is pleased to offer a Third Exam Attempt for Foundation Course students. Providing a third chance to those who wish to truly benefit from their studies, the Third Exam Attempt will enable you to earn your diploma — even after two previous failing grades.
Who is eligible?
The Third Exam Attempt is valid for IATA / UFTAA Foundation Course (Curso Básico IATA / FUAAV, Cours d’Introduction IATA / FUAAV) students, having failed a second examination attempt as of the September 2007 examination session, or later session, for either one or both examination papers, and who apply and re-sit within one year of having failed their second examination attempt.
