Hizi courses ziko Kenya. Sema tu ni wivu mko nayo. The only course Wakenya wanaenda nje kusomea ni piloting kwa ajili ya simulator kuwa SA. Lakini hizi courses ndogo ndogo za IATA ziko Kenya na zinafunzwa na colleges nyingi tu. Sasa nchi nzima haina hizi courses. Hahaha. Wallahi mna mchezo.
Teargass unaskia hii maneno. Ati hawa Malazy hawana courses za IATA. Ati mpaka waende South Afrika kusomea huko. Huku Kenya akina Nairobi Aviation College hizi ndio courses wana offer.

The four courses which have been approved by IATA being offered at NIT include; Airline Marketing, Airline Customer Service, Airport Operations Fundamentals as well as global distribution systems fares and ticketing-Amadeus.
NIT Rector Professor Zacharia Mganilwa told journalists yesterday in Dar es Salaam that his institution has received IATA accreditation to offer the course after meeting set standards globally. “We signed a memorandum of understanding to that effect with IATA in March this year, we are now in final touches to launch these courses,” Prof Mganilwa said.
He added, “Offering IATA courses at NIT will provide an opportunity for Tanzanians seeking to study these courses at an affordable cost.” The NIT Rector further noted that the move is an opportunity for locals to secure employment in any leading global airline after graduating from such courses.
Mganilwa invited qualified locals seeking to train in the four disciplines to visit NIT or its website for more information. “The institute is also inviting airlines to bring their employees and managers to come and attend these IATA endorsed courses,” he noted
The NIT Rector explained that the institute’s objective is to add more IATA approved courses to meet the growing needs of the country’s rapidly growing aviation industry. “We are also in final stages of a process to accomplish all the requirements and procedures to start pilots training courses in 2020/21 academic year,” Prof Mganilwa stated. The Dar es Salaam based transport training institute is waiting for planes as part of fulfilling conditions to start pilots training.
The NIT has already received U$21.25 million (almost 50bn/-) from the government as World Bank loan to support its transformation into a world class aviation training university.
On his part, NIT's School of Aviation Technology’s Principal, Denis Mwageni said that the institute started offering Aircraft Maintenance Engineering courses in 2015/16 academic year with 40 students having graduated in aircraft maintenance engineering of which 32 got bachelor’s degrees while eight got diplomas. Mwageni said 40 students also graduated in cabin crew programme since 2018 when the course started.
He said all the graduates are currently in the market ready to serve the aviation industry. “Apart from that, we are also planning to start offering Bachelor’s Degree in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics) as well as Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics) together with short course this year,” he added.
Established in 1975, NIT has been training human capital for the transport sector in the country. With the government’s heavy investments in aviation, railway and water body vessels, NIT is now poised to diversify its portfolio to meet modern transport manpower needs.
