Before enrolling directly with IATA, an aspiring candidate must pass through the above cited courses, from us so that they become comfortable to directly enroll with IATA for self study of their Advanced GDS Fares & Ticketing (AFT) program.
Many new aspiring candidates think or presume that to persue a prospective career in the aviation industry as Counter Staff is to go or begin with Level 1 (Foundation) and gradually proceed to Level 2 (Consultant) and so on……this is actually NOT TRUE with the advent of GDS (Global Distribution Systems, like Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, Worldspan, Abacus, Apollo and so on…).
The Foundation and Consultant levels were useful when there were no computers in the offices of airlines and travel agencies to execute air reservation/s and issue (or print) air-ticket/s.
The staff in those days used to work out manually the fare/s for complexed international itineraries (as I used to do and sometimes used to take some pain killer tablet/s to overcome those stressful and demanding days in the office to meet the challenge/s of constructing the fare/s manually using one of those available reference manuals at that point of time, which ofcourse are still being published, perhaps very limited editions) and make of the schedule of flights using RED and BLUE ABC manuals (now it is called OAG and is still available in the market for which I was appointed their sales coordinator in India till recently).
All the aviation industry entities (as described below) were compelled to susbcribe for somewhat costly (but very professionally useful during non computerised days) manuals such as ABC (now OAG, Official Airlines Guide), APT (Airlines Passenger Tariff) & PAT (Passengers Air Tariff), now both of these are combined and published as AT (Air Tariff) by IATA Netherlands, alongwith General Fares & Rules Books on WH (Western Hemispere) & EH (Eastern Hemisphere) and so on…
In todays era of rapid computerisation, practically all the aviation industry entities, such as Airlines, GSA (General Sales Agents of a particular airliner in a specific alloted region which act as offices of that particular Airlines), Travel Agencies (IATA or Non-IATA), Airlines Business Process Outsourced (BPOs or back offices) do not prefer to subscribe to any manuals of the above cited (or other on which the Foundation and Consultant training is based) as everything now is available on and in any one of the powerful Global Distribution Systems (GDS), as cited above.
With the advent of GDS in the office of the aviation industry entities, the staff can now easily access a wide range of information through the proper use of a particular system, which the employers have agreed to install in thier respective offices or organisation, in which they will be working.
A trained staff with PNR Management and in Automated Fares & eTicketing Course/s can now see LIVE seat inventory for almost all the major and low cost airliners of the world, pick up an appropriate seat as per Fare selected and Rules Governing it, make instant Reservations and create PNRs (Passenger Name & Recod Locator File in an GDS) and issue effortlessly Electronic Tickets (eTickets) without bothering to take any pain killers….. sometimes I envy the present day aviation staff as they have so many modern day-to-day equipments, techniques and training available at their disposal to function and maximise their work output, and in less stressful environment.
