Their certificates are approved by the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT), a Ugandan quality assurance directorate offering nationally, regionally, and internationally recognized quality assurance services for the Business, Technical, Vocational Education and Training (BTVET).

Meanwhile, after becoming a flight dispatcher, also referred to as an airline dispatcher or flight operations officer, Zahara Totto will play a crucial role in mapping out flight routes.
