Description

In line with EU Requirement 2320, GSAT training has now been in existence since November 2007 and all staff working in the Security Restricted Area (SRA) of a Department for Transport controlled airport will be holding a current certificate.

However, newly recruited staff will need to undergo this training as a prerequisite to applying for an airport ID pass.

Examples of staff requiring this training inc, airside office workers, airline operations and passenger service staff, engineering and maintenance staff, aircraft refuellers, shop, catering, and other staff in the departure/arrivals areas.

Staff who have received certain other security training – for example, Air Cargo, in-flight catering, and job functions which include security as part of their training (e.g. security staff, air crew, etc.) are exempt.

There are two components to your course which should be completed in order:
1. Complete the five online learning modules
2. Take the end-of-course assessment. Please do not complete the assessment until after you have completed all 5 online modules.
