Typical job types and sectors

Typical engagements span airlines, cargo operators, freight forwarders, airports and related security teams. The training solutions are designed to benefit new recruits entering roles in cargo handling, security screening and operations, as well as experienced staff seeking to enhance regulatory knowledge or advance in non-regulatory skill areas such as warehousing, customer service excellence, and operational safety practices.

How requests usually work

Considerations for prospective clients typically begin with an assessment of operational needs and regulatory requirements. PAS offers flexibility in how learning is delivered—online, classroom, or on-site—allowing programmes to be customised to specific operational contexts. The process generally includes a guidance phase to determine the appropriate combination of programmes (for example, Dangerous Goods training alongside AVSEC and compliance modules), followed by delivery and subsequent competency validation. Where gaps are identified, Remedial Action Planning and Expert Consulting services are available to address deficiencies and ensure sustained regulatory alignment.

Practical tips for customers

• Clarify operational scope early: identify whether the focus is on dangerous goods handling, AVSEC compliance, or broader security and safety training to streamline programme selection.
• Choose delivery formats that fit shifts and site access: online for flexible learning, classroom for hands-on interaction, or on-site for organisation-wide rollout.
• Leverage bespoke programmes: ask for tailored solutions that address specific site risks, cargo types, or regulatory challenges rather than off-the-shelf modules.
• Plan for assessment: confirm how competence will be measured after training, including practical demonstrations or audits to verify real-world application.
• Review regulatory references: utilise the Publications Directory and IATA/ICAO materials to stay aligned with evolving requirements and industry best practice.
