Aviation Security Training for Maintenance Personnel 

e-learning course (2 hours of study) 

This course is recommended for ‘Aircraft Maintenance Technicians, Engineers and MRO Personnel’

Maintenance personnel have unescorted access to some of the most security-sensitive areas in civil aviation — the aircraft itself, the maintenance hangar, the apron and security restricted areas. This privileged access comes with a critical security responsibility.

A maintenance technician who fails to recognize a security threat, report a suspicious item or apply correct access control procedures can inadvertently become the weakest link in the aviation security chain. This interactive course will guide maintenance personnel through the aviation security requirements that apply specifically to their role — from threat awareness and aircraft protection to access control, prohibited items identification and incident reporting — ensuring full compliance with ICAO Annex 17, EU Regulation 2015/1998 and national civil aviation security requirements.

Why This Course Is Essential

Your Wrench Gives You Access.
Your Training Keeps It Safe.

Maintenance personnel have unescorted access to the most security-sensitive areas in aviation — the aircraft itself. This privileged access comes with a critical security responsibility. One undetected suspicious item, one access control failure, one unreported incident can compromise the safety of an entire flight.

What Regulators Require

ICAO Annex 17 and EU Regulation 2015/1998 — Point 11.4 — mandate specific security training for all maintenance personnel with unescorted access to security restricted areas. Non-compliance is not an option.

What This Course Covers

Threat awareness, access control, prohibited items and IED recognition, aircraft protection, incident reporting and bomb threat procedures — everything a maintenance technician needs to know.

Built in accordance with ICAO Annex 17, EU Regulation 2015/1998 and ICAO Doc 8973 — for initial and recurrent security training of maintenance personnel.
