Copies of the distance learning material ‘threat assessment – a training package’ are
available from the CAA. This is an updated version of DfT’s 2003 publication ‘bomb
warning assessment’.
It is recommended that all threat assessors receive recurrent training on a regular basis.
Given the changes to the package and value of regular recurrent training it is strongly
encouraged that all threat assessors complete the package.
This training aid is only available to approved organisations and companies formally in
receipt of directions under the UK National Aviation Security Programme (NASP), i.e. an
airline, airport, listed cargo agent or in-flight supplies company. Please e-mail or post your
request for copies of the threat assessment training package on company headed note
paper to: avsec.training@caa.gsi.gov.uk

delivering in-flight supplies security training or aircraft security training to ground-based
staff (such as secure-clean contractors).

ICAO courses
A specialised agency of the United Nations, the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) was created in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly development of international
civil aviation throughout the world. It sets standards and regulations necessary for aviation
safety, security, efficiency and regularity, as well as for aviation environmental protection.
ICAO serves as the forum for cooperation in all fields of civil aviation among its 190
member states.
The network of Aviation Security Training Centre’s (ASTC) has been extended to include
Redline as the 23rd centre worldwide. A yearly ASTC directors meeting is organised to
ensure effective communication between the Centre’s and ICAO. During this meeting best
practices are exchanged and contacts are made and maintained to ensure that further
cooperation.
Besides the delivery of the ICAO sponsored training activities, ASTC’s are also required to
develop and deliver a yearly programme of regional aviation security courses adapted to
the regional needs.

in the maritime industry and channel tunnel operations.
Cargo security
Title: Air tight

good and bad practices. The film covers many of the teaching points contained in the air
cargo training syllabus and is designed to be used in conjunction with and as a part of the
training required by relevant regulation.

airport.
This title provides guidance to personnel on how to handle a telephoned bomb warning. It
provides information on techniques necessary to enable the recipient to be able to obtain
as much information as possible so that an effective assessment of the warning may be
made.
This title was produced to assist with the training of all types of staff who work in an airport,
seaport or channel tunnel environment, who are not directly responsible for security. The
film was designed to be used as part of an induction-training programme for new staff or
recurrent training for existing staff. This could include managers, contractors, caterers,
cleaners, concessionaires, re-fuellers and engineers - in fact anyone who works at a
transport location. Security staff will also be interested in the content.
The objective of the film is to make everybody who works at a transport location aware that
it is in their interest to think about security. The film shows that when other staff have a
security concern they should contact security staff. The more vigilant all staff are, the less
opportunity there will be for terrorists to find a loophole in security.
There are four case studies to enable them to assess their ability and certificate of
competence to be countersigned by the senior manager appointed to help with their
training.

This mandatory training is aimed at security managers employed by airports, airlines and
their agents and in-flight supplies undertakings and secure clean contractors, who have
direct managerial responsibilities for security personnel carrying out aviation security
duties. Managers will be provided with information to enable them to understand the aims
and objectives of the aviation security organisation; the threat to civil aviation and risks to
its security and to be able to implement current security policies and procedures outlined in
the relevant airport or airline security program.
Whilst in the past provision of both initial and recurrent managers’ training was limited to
providers specifically approved by the DfT, since February 2011 anyone who has
successfully completed an initial security managers’ course is entitled to provide this
training (subject to meeting the other requirements for instructors set out in EU regulation
and certification by the DfT). Recurrent training must be delivered within 36 months of
Initial Training.
NB Please note that dates for courses previously listed by the original approved providers
have been removed. For more details on the courses available, please contact the
providers directly.

As of 22 August 2014 a new cargo syllabus (Regulated Agent) and cargo syllabus (Known
Consignor) was published. Training under the air cargo syllabus (i.e. levels A-G) should
only be used to;
train staff working for regulated agents and for drivers involved in the carriage
of secure air cargo;
training under the known consignor syllabus should be used to train staff
working at known consignor sites.
In order to be certified by the DfT to deliver the mandatory training in this syllabus, each
instructor must apply to the CAA, providing evidence to demonstrate compliance with the
following requirements:
Once received, the CAA will assess the evidence provided and, if content, pass the
application on to the DfT for approval. For further guidance and an application form,
contact the CAA.
Whilst the CAA endeavours to keep this list up to date, there will always be some delay in
making changes and alterations. As such, should there be a discrepancy between the
information here and that which a trainer might tell you, please e-mail
caroline.joseph@caa.gsi.gov.uk to clarify the matter.
Please be aware that the details here are provided for those engaging a trainer/training
provider to assure themselves that a specific trainer/training provider is approved to deliver
air cargo security training and are listed alphabetically for convenience.

The purpose of the national x-ray competency test (NXCT) is to enforce a minimum,
uniform standard of competence for screeners using x-ray/EDS equipment to screen items
for carriage by air by ensuring that all trainees prove that they have the necessary skills to
be effective at the x-ray screening task before they work in the operational environment.
Separate tests exist for cabin baggage, cargo and hold baggage screeners.
If you are interested in becoming accredited to deliver the cabin baggage NXCT, you will
need to meet the cabin baggage NXCT accreditation criteria.

Cargo NXCT
Anyone employed in the screening of air cargo using X-ray or EDS equipment must be in
possession of a valid cargo NXCT certificate. Thereafter the cargo NXCT may continue to
be used to meet the 6 monthly recurrent training testing requirements. It is a mandatory
requirement that it is re-passed at least every 13 months. The cargo NXCT should take
about one hour to complete and will usually be initially taken as part of induction training. If
you are interested in becoming accredited to deliver the cargo NXCT, you will need to
meet the Cargo NXCT Accreditation Criteria.
