Aviation Security. It is the group of regulations, methods and procedures with preventive nature, with the aim of protecting the passengers, crew members, ground staff, users, national and international aircrafts exploiters operations, aircrafts, aeronautical installations, air navigation services and airport and administrative installations that may compete against illegal interference acts; as well as additional actions needed to counter a threat enhancement.

This course has the objective of awaring all staff of any company working in an airport environment that must access to restricted areas to perform their tasks, in order to ensure security and colaborate with the responsible organisms. This course is mandatory to be performed and, once passed the exam, the corresponding certificate will be obtained by the entitled person. Without this certificate will not be possible to manage an airport credential.

AVSEC Certificate accredits to the entitled person having realized the Aviation Security Awareness Course. It is needed to be presented, among with the rest of questionnaires and requested documentation, in the airport security offices in order to manage the credentials of any employee that must access to restricted areas to perform his/her tasks.

AVSEC Certificate has a validity of 5 years since its expedition date. It is personal and therefore belongs to its entitled person, who may be able to make copies of it and provide it to the companies which may request it in order to manage his/her airport credentials. Once validity expires the certificate shall be renovated by taking a new course up-to-date.

The processes for obtaining security credentials may vary in each airport and are independent from AVSEC Certification. Companies which must accredit their employees for being able to work in an airport will have to present the documentation requested by the corresponding airport security office, which invariably will include the AVSEC certificate of each employee who may have to access to restricted areas. This certificate can be already in the employee’s hand (if he/she made the course and got certified before 5 years ago), cannot or can be expired, so the Aviation Security Awareness Course must be arranged in order to certify him/her.
