AVIATION - General Security Awareness Training (GSAT)

This course fulfils the DfT GSAT training requirements to enable the issue of a full pass (new or renewal) granting unescorted access to a restricted zone. It ensures that all trainees are aware of the security threat and measures in place at the airport where they will be working. It familiarises trainees with the nature of the threat to aviation and basic security measures in place to counter the threat, and ensures that trainees understand the core objectives and organisation of aviation security and the part that they can play in contributing to the security of the airport.

Our security training courses reflect the current climate and heightened threat levels. Objectives are:

• To increase awareness of the current threat to aviation.

• To enable the recognition of incendiary and explosive devices and their component parts.

• To understand and apply the correct precautions to reduce the threat of interference to aviation and to gain knowledge of the procedures that should be adopted in the event of a breach of aircraft security.

GAT Instructors are qualified to UK government standards and experienced in both airline and airport security operations
