In August 2022, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) accredited JAA TO as Competency-based Training and Assessment (CBTA) Centre of Excellence. With this status achievement, JAA TO is the first training organisation in the Netherlands to receive the CBTA Excellence accreditation by IATA.
Receiving this prestigious accreditation is a great milestone for the organisation and testimony to our dedicated work. We are proud for continuing to be pioneers and leaders, adding to our list of accreditations nothing less than the highest standards for Aviation Training Providers in the field of DGR.
-JAA TO CEO Paula V. de Almeida, MEd
Receiving the new IATA CBTA Excellence recognition is great news for the JAA TO. I congratulate the entire organisation on reaching this exceptional endorsement which enables it to achieve its mission of capacitating aviation professionals, now also in the field of the safe transport of dangerous goods by air.

As ICAO recognised TRAINAIR Plus Platinum Excellence partner, JAA TO has an extensive experience in developing and delivering Competency Based Training courses. With the requirements for Dangerous Goods Regulation Training in accordance with the new ICAO Technical Instructions that will come into effect on 1 January 2023 and the two new accreditations, we have expanded our training and services portfolio with IATA recognised Dangerous Goods Regulations Training Courses and are accredited to support the Dutch “approval holders” in their training needs. As a CBTA Centre of Excellence, we also support them in the development of specific and customised programs.
