Approximately 50 aircraft sales brokers will be tested for professional certification by the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) at the organization's fall meeting, held just prior to the upcoming 2019 NBAA Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas.
Those individual aircraft brokers who pass the rigorous testing protocol will join a group of 35 transaction brokers who passed the examination earlier this year. IADA, which also recently moved towards full professional accreditation for aircraft dealer organizations, expects a small group of additional aircraft dealers to join the 38 currently accredited dealers as IADA establishes an industry standard for professional ethics and transparency in aircraft transactions.
The newly certified IADA aircraft brokers, all working for IADA-accredited dealer organizations, exemplify the most experienced and highly skilled professional consultants who are available to represent both buyers and sellers of business aircraft. The rigorous certification program for brokers was developed and managed by Joseph Allan Aviation Consulting, which also developed accreditation standards for aircraft dealers.
Transparent Transactions
"With their new IADA certifications, the skilled brokers who pass these upcoming tests in late October will embody the very best qualities and transparency expected of professionals who can be trusted with handling aircraft transactions worth millions of dollars," said IADA Executive Director Wayne Starling. "Both buyers and sellers of aircraft can rest assured they are dealing with the most competent experts available in our industry."
The broker examination measures skills and competencies required of aircraft brokers in order to effectively execute their work. The Joseph Allan consulting firm has considerable experience in curriculum development as well as the development and management of examinations measuring knowledge-based competencies.
