New training standard for airport security staff
09.08.11
UK airport security staff are to get better training thanks to a new set of standards brought in to help cope with the influx of passengers expected in 2012, travelmole reports. For the first time, airport security staff will be able to take a new qualification geared towards their specific role - a Level 2 Diploma in Aviation Security from the City & Guilds and Edexcel.
The new skills framework for aviation security has been developed by GoSkills after extensive contribution from key employers. Debbie Thompson, training development manager at airport operator BAA, told the online news service. ‘A review highlighted some clear skills gaps including that of a qualification requirement for staff working in aviation security - a highly regulated section of the industry with stringent training requirements. This new qualification should prove highly motivational and also a benefit for security staff, as well as for airport management and passengers.’
