We are delighted to announce that we recently appointed our 500th certified member. Our members now span across 67 countries and 6 continents. The total number of certified members, at the time of writing is 514, with a further 63 companies awaiting their audit.

Rodney Marage, IRATA General Manager & Secretary, commented “the process of achieving IRATA accreditation can be demanding for some applicant companies, particularly those in countries where English is not the primary spoken language and I’m encouraged by the concerted effort applicants afford to achieving IRATA compliance. Quality assurance and control indeed cost, but evidence suggests that achieving IRATA certification is clearly an investment rather than an expense.

Although certified member growth is a dynamic objective, technician safety, best practice, education and improving member’s services is paramount in what we do each day.”

We would like to thank our Committees, Members, Auditors, Assessors, Instructors and Technicians for helping us achieve this

significant milestone.
