Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP)

Airport management, as a profession, has been faced with growing pressure to establish ways and means of promoting its credibility and to ensure an appropriate degree of standardisation of related expertise globally. ACI and ICAO established a formal partnership to provide accessible, affordable and universally available specialised management training to the global airports community. This initiative gave birth to the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP).

AMPAP is the world’s only course-based accreditation programme for airport executives delivered both face-to-face and online. All individuals who occupy a management position within a civil airport organisation are eligible to apply. For airport management professionals, the International Airport Professional (IAP) designation is THE global standard of excellence.

Objectives

The main objectives of the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Programme (AMPAP) are to:

  • Increase the professional knowledge and capability of airport management staff 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 management staff globally so as to optimise knowledge sharing among the world's airports.

Description

All candidates will be required to successfully complete four mandatory courses and two electives within a three-year timeframe.

Some courses will involve five days of classroom training, with advance preparation using electronically-transmitted materials. Other courses will be offered online lasting approximately three weeks (equivalent to 5 days of classroom training). Whenever possible, classroom sessions will be held at ACI or ICAO regional training centres in an effort to reduce travel costs.

The mandatory courses curriculum is based on expertise requirements in principal areas of functional airport management and the need to heighten and expand awareness of ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices.

The four AMPAP mandatory courses focus on the AMPAP targeted expertise:

  1. Air Transport System (classroom/face-to-face)
  2. Airport Master Planning, Development and Environmental Management (online)
  3. Airport Commercial and Financial Management (online)
  4. Airport Operations, Safety and Security (online)
