Programme Description - Global ACI-ICAO AMPAP

The ACI-ICAO Partnership

The Global ACI-ICAO Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) is a strategic initiative born from a partnership between ACI and ICAO, launched in March 2007

The AMPAP Steering Committee, which is co-chaired by the Secretary General of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Director General of the Airports Council International (ACI), meets annually to establish policy direction for AMPAP and to monitor its performance against the targets jointly set by ICAO and ACI.

Programme Objectives

Increase the professional knowledge and capability of airport management personnel worldwide in order to improve the performance of airports in their core missions (safety, security, efficiency, quality, social/environmental responsibility, etc.);
Encourage the adherence to uniform standards and awareness of best practices at the world’s airports;
Promote the recognition of professional excellence in airport management; and,
Expand communication among airport executives globally to optimize knowledge sharing among the world’s airports.

Structure

IAP candidates must successfully complete 4 mandatory courses and 2 electives within a 3-year time frame.

The Air Transport System (ATS) mandatory course involves 5 full days of classroom training with some advance preparation using electronically-transmitted materials. The ATS course is currently available in a “live” virtual classroom delivery only, over five consecutive days, until safe travel may be resumed.
3 other AMPAP mandatory courses (AOSS, ACF and APDE) are always offered online and each course delivery is spread through four consecutive weeks (content is equivalent to 5 full days of in-class training).
2 AMPAP approved elective courses are to be chosen and are made available with the corresponding ACI or ICAO training divisions only.
