Everyone who works or wishes to seek employment in an airport and does not require access ‘airside’.  For those who require access airside in UK airports you need to complete a GSAT course.

This Airport Security course covers much of the same content as a GSAT course but isn’t currently accredited by the DFT.

If a learner scores less than 80%, they may revisit any part of the course and retake the assessment until successful.
