About the course
5-day (40 hours) classroom course

The role of a security manager is vital in keeping aviation security (Avsec) measures relevant and in ensuring a proactive approach to security within the organization. This course helps you overcome both internal and external Avsec challenges. Evaluate in-house and outsourced Avsec options, and learn how to select the right Avsec contractors for your organization. With the help of practical exercises, improve your contract management skills by learning how to select vendors and create requests for proposals (RFPs). Gain the skills you need to implement countermeasures that increase airport security, and simultaneously improve business by blending facilitation with security.
