Aviation Security Awareness Training
e-learning course (2 hours of study)
This course is recommended for ‘All Aviation Personnel Operating in the Airside Environment’
Every person working in civil aviation is a potential target — and a potential line of defence. Aviation security is not the responsibility of security personnel alone.
It is the responsibility of every individual who works at an airport, for an airline, or in any aviation-related function. This interactive course will guide you through the fundamental principles of aviation security awareness, ensuring you are equipped to recognize threats, apply security procedures and contribute to a robust security culture in your organization.
This course content is designed in accordance with EU Regulation 2015/1998 and ECAC Doc 30 — the international and European standards for civil aviation security.
The syllabus is designed in accordance with ECAC recommendations.
