Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) has partnered with Latin American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA) to deliver a customized certificate in Global Supply Chain & Operations in Aviation to address the educational needs identified for the region. This is a unique opportunity for working professionals from the different areas within aviation companies and organizations to gain knowledge and expertise regarding the latest strategies, processes, tools and analysis related to this area within aviation, which has proven to be vital and extremely relevant for the viability and success of organizations. The certificate program will be composed of six different courses.

Each of these courses has been designed to offer students a strategic perspective of the topics and allow them to interact with the most up-to-date content available. All the courses will be 5 weeks in duration, encompassing the first 4 weeks asynchronously, providing students with flexibility to go through the course materials at any time of the day. For the final week of each course, students and instructors will be working together through virtual meeting sessions, replicating as close as possible the typical classroom environment, enabling high levels of interaction, live discussions, presentations and even professional networking. This hybrid delivery format allows students to take the best out of each methodology, offering high-quality education with flexibility and reduced logistics/transportation costs.
