IATA ACC3 Aviation Security Independent Validator aviation training course

Take this first step to become an EU Aviation Security Validator. Currently the EU requires air carriers to obtain the ‘Air Cargo or Mail Carrier operating into the Union from a Third Country Airport’ (ACC3) designation. ACC3 designation is only valid upon a successful EU Aviation Security Validation performed by an Independent Validator accredited by an EU Member State. ACC3 carriers flying cargo to EU/EEA must be re-validated every 5 years and Regulated Agents (RA3) and Known Consignors (KC3) must be subjected to re-validation every three years. Get the required training and position yourself to become an EU Aviation Security Validator.
