Supporting Airport Security Staff in the Screening Process

Monday, July 8, 2024

As UK airports approach their busiest time of the year, it’s essential that security staff are proficient in using security screening systems to prevent passenger delays. Through training, mentoring and hands-on experience, we are supporting airport security staff upskill and build confidence in operating 2D and 3D X-ray scanners.

Our practical-based X-ray Awareness Training course ensures that staff are able to operate an X-ray scanner effectively to detect prohibited or threatening items, such as IEDs, IIDs, firearms, and ammunition. Further enhancing this training, we have a test suite of 2D and 3D X-ray machines at the National Safety and Security Academy (NSSA) in Doncaster, allowing staff to gain hands-on experience, including live screening of images. This is a great benefit to airports as there’s no need to remove machines from operation. To find out more information, view the full course page here.

Our EU and UK aviation regulatory-compliant 2D and 3D X-ray Threat Image Recognition Training (TIRT) system is both technically sophisticated and intuitive, equipping X-ray screeners with the knowledge and skills needed to use the full functionality of an X-ray effectively to detect items of concern. X-ray screener training is supported with an extensive image library of varied and representative threats as well as everyday items. TIRT provides trainee interaction and feedback which includes a performance review mode for managers, supervisors and screeners. To learn more about the features and benefits of TIRT, check out our dedicated page here.

We have a team of highly qualified managers and instructors who can provide staff with comprehensive mentoring and On-the-Job Training (OJT) to ensure employees acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to efficiently undertake their responsibilities. Through personalised mentoring and practical, hands-on training sessions, we aim to enhance their capabilities and confidence in performing their tasks.
