General Security Awareness Training (GSAT)
General Security Awareness Training (GSAT) is a mandatory legal requirement for individuals working within the Security Restricted Area (SRA) of UK airports. GSAT is a mandatory aviation security requirement set by European regulation and enforced by the UK Department for Transport (DfT).

The course is designed to be clear, accessible, and efficient, taking under one hour to complete, followed by an online assessment. Upon successful completion, candidates can immediately download and print their GSAT certificate for submission to the Airport Pass Office.

Course content
Module 1 - The Threat to Aviation
The aviation industry has been a prime target for terrorists for many years. The threat is real; but with your help, we can do much to reduce it. In this module we alert you to the nature of the threat and help you understand what you can do to assist in the day-to-day security of your airport.
Module 2 - Security in the Aviation Industry
This module will give you a basic understanding of how you can help to make your airport a safer place.
Module 3 - The Trainee's Role
In this module, you will learn that working at the airport means that you will often have access to confidential information. This information is of interest to those looking for ways to breach security. You will also have access to buildings, hangars, cargo and storage areas that such people would like to enter, as this would provide access to baggage, cargo and even aircraft.
Module 4 - Access Control and the Screening Point
In this module you will learn about the access control measures in place at your airport and your responsibilities at the screening checkpoint
Module 5 - Escorting Employment and Visitor Pass Holders
In this module, you will learn about the principles and responsibilities of escorting a visitor or an employment pass holder airside.
