RFX
Overview –
We train delegates in the recognition of firearms, explosives, incendiary
devices and other weapons, including hands-on familiarisation with inert
examples of these items. Ultimately this one day course will benefit
any staff member that is responsible for checking and searching for firearms,
explosives, incendiary devices or other weapons, in areas such as:
- The aviation industry and its associated agents
- Ship and port operators and their agents
- Channel Tunnel operators
- The railway industry
- Sport stadiums
- Shopping centres
- Government buildings
- Event security
This course is only designed to provide your staff with awareness training in the recognition of firearms, explosives and incendiary devices and does not qualify them as an RFX Instructor.

It is also used as an opportunity to provide the latest information on improvised weapons and methods of concealment. RFX refresher training must be completed every 3 years by those instructors who require an ID card to possess inert RFX training aids.
