IADA and ASA Launch Education Partnership

Organizations Exchange Educational Resources To Strengthen Aircraft Appraisal Knowledge

HERNDON, VA, UNITED STATES, November 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) and the American Society of Appraisers (ASA) have established an educational partnership to expand professional development opportunities for both organizations' members.

The collaboration between both international organizations includes initiatives that strengthen aircraft appraisal education across all of general aviation.

Under the partnership, IADA's Quarterly Market Reports will become part of ASA's Machinery & Equipment Valuation Methodology (Aviation Specific), giving candidates pursuing ASA's Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) designation access to current market intelligence from IADA's global network of accredited aircraft dealers, certified brokers and parts and services members. IADA's Board Chairs will virtually present the reports as part of the course.

ASA is partnering with IADA-U to develop an online broker education course, explaining the basic methodology, standards and documentation behind a professional aircraft appraisal. The course also reviews ASA’s credentialing process and is designed to help aircraft dealers, brokers and other aviation professionals better understand the appraisal process and the information appraisers need to produce credible valuations.

"These on-going learning initiatives greatly contribute to both organizations," said Lou Seno, Executive Director of IADA. "ASA students gain valuable market intelligence, while IADA members gain a better understanding of the disciplined process behind professional aircraft appraisals and how they can contribute to more accurate valuations."

"Education is central to ASA's mission, and this partnership benefits both organizations," said Guillermo Ortiz de Zarate, Chief Executive Officer of ASA. "Combining IADA's market expertise with ASA's appraisal education helps strengthen professional knowledge and confidence throughout the business aviation industry."
