The Threat
The business of transporting air cargo around the world is vital to all economies.
Weak air cargo security measures leave cargo and also passenger aircraft at risk,
because just about every passenger flight carries some freight along with the passengers
and their baggage. Despite the numerous security technologies available today, the neglected
element in many cargo security systems is the 'human factor'. Trained personnel are the cargo
industry's most valuable security resource. In response to Aviation Security regulations which
have been tightened by the European Parliament, Avsecschool has produced the Cargo Security
Awareness e-learning course to help address the threats posed by terrorists and criminals to
today's air cargo operations.
The Course
UK Air Cargo Security Training Course features animated demonstrations and narrated videos to coherently teach the key concepts of cargo security.
The course has been created in response to the European Parliament's tightening of Aviation Security regulations.
The government and DFT approved course is designed to address the growing demand for training courses
in air cargo security, an area which has increasingly been considered a vulnerable point of target.
This Course has two levels, Level A (Consisting of Module 1, Parts 1 - 5) and Level B (Consisting of Module 1, Parts 1 - 6).
