IADA has certified 41 aircraft brokers over the course of 2023, all of whom met the requirements for and passed its Certified Broker exam.

The purpose of IADA's broker certification is to:

- Validate the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to be a successful aircraft broker.

- Standardise IADA aircraft brokers.

- Increase their prominence within the industry.

- Provide objective third-party certification of aircraft brokers working for IADA-Accredited Dealers.

"These 41 newly IADA-certified brokers have all met or exceeded the stringent requirements and passed a comprehensive examination administered by a third party," says executive director Wayne Starling. "The entire IADA organisation is proud of their extraordinary professionalism and commitment to transparent aircraft transactions."

To apply for IADA certification, a broker must be employed by an IADA-Accredited Dealer or OEM for at least a year. IADA recommends a minimum of two to three total years of experience, including completing several aircraft transactions.

The rigorous IADA broker testing process is administered by independent third party Joseph Allen Aviation Consulting. IADA-certified brokers all pursue continuing education through IADA U online courses. The IADA-certified broker designation is not transferrable if a broker leaves the employ of an IADA-Accredited dealer.
