Cargo Operative Screening (COS)

Our Courses

Effective, quality and compliant training is essential to your aviation operation. We design our AvSec courses to ensure they meet all requirements set by ICAO, the EU and are fully compliant with the DfT / CAA syllabi within the National Aviation Security Programme (NASP).

They are uniquely developed and delivered using experts with vast experience and operational knowledge from the aviation security industry. They focus on the first principles of aviation security and provide the industry and its’ staff with the relevant learning required at each level to enhance procedures and comply with requirements.

All courses focus on the current security climate and heightened threat levels, analysing the motivations and strategies which have been used against aviation in the past and providing relevant knowledge and skills, enhancing the ability to implement effective mitigation measures to reduce the risk of future attacks on aviation.

All courses utilise the operational knowledge of our trainers from across the industry and are conducted in an interactive practical style, encouraging discussion and developing best practices.

All training can be individually adapted to meet your locations exact training needs and incorporate all national requirements. Also delivered at your location to reduce logistic and administrative costs.
