A focused course that gives you the practical knowledge and skills to understand and apply airside screening requirements and GSAT principles consistently.
“Most airside screening and GSAT issues are not caused by lack of effort. They happen because teams are unsure how to interpret requirements or apply them in real screening situations. This course explains airside screening and GSAT clearly and practically so you can make consistent decisions, reduce errors and improve overall screening outcomes.”
This CPD certified Airside Screening Standard course, delivered by a UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP) registered provider, is designed for professionals and organisations responsible for screening, vetting and managing personnel in airport and airside environments. It provides clear, practical guidance on how to apply recognised airside screening standards to support safer operations, reduce risk and meet compliance expectations across aviation security functions.
Written by screening specialists with extensive industry experience, this online training explains how to undertake effective identity verification, review employment and qualification histories, evaluate background and safety-critical checks, and make risk-based screening decisions that reflect operational requirements and regulatory guidance. Learners will gain confidence in documenting screening outcomes accurately, maintaining robust records and embedding screening practices that align with both organisational policies and recognised UK compliance frameworks.
Suitable for HR professionals, airport security teams, compliance officers and hiring managers, this course supports safer, more dependable hiring and vetting processes. It helps organisations build consistent, proportionate and defensible screening approaches that contribute to secure airport operations and best-practice workforce management.
