A constantly evolving threat from terrorism means that Aviation Security forms an integral part of national security measures. All staff with unescorted access to identifiable secure air cargo will require training to some degree and fall into 3 distinct groups: those working for a Regulated Cargo Agent, those employed by a Known Consignor, or drivers of these, and those working under a Contracted Haulier Declaration.
Within this section you will find the classroom courses and the online equivalent. If booking any of these courses for the first time, it is worth contacting us to ensure your staff are being trained to the correct level, as required by the DfT/CAA .

All Levels Refresher
Over recent years there has been some confusion with certificate validity periods. However the safe rule is that all levels of training must be refreshed within two years. There is no period of grace following the expiry of a certificate, so once the training has expired the holder is required to re-sit the full course again. The only exceptions to this are the National X-ray Competency Test (NXCT) which must be repeated successfully within 13 months of the previous test; and the Cargo Manager level CM, which is valid for 36 months providing the holder has no direct involvement with the handling or screening of secure air cargo. If this is not the case and the manager is involved with the operation, the 24 month rule applies.
