As required by Regulation EU139/14 and subsequent amendments, all operators with access to airside are required to complete a specific safety training course. The certificate issued on completion of the course is valid for 24 months and it is the employer's responsibility to check the validity of the certificate and apply for renewal (Airside Safety Recurrent Course).

A valid training certificate must be presented when an airport pass is issued or renewed. In addition, the operator will check the validity of the certificate using an electronic system located at the gates at each airside access point; access will not be granted with an expired certificate.

Two types of Airside Safety courses are provided:

• Airside Safety Plus, designed for unescorted personnel with access to the airside and under aircraft and firefighters. It covers topics related to FOD, Safety Net, PEA - Aeronautical Emergency Plan and Emergency Hand Signal.
  • Please indicate on the application form if the course is for personnel working under aircraft by ticking the appropriate box and the system will assign the appropriate course.
  • If the requested course is an initial course, two modules will be allocated: Airside Safety Plus and Airside Safety Plus Online Practice, to be completed in a prescribed order
  • Only for initial courses, once the online courses have been completed, it is necessary to attend an ASSESSMENT (verification interview) in person at the Training Centres, which must be requested with a special application. The certificate will be issued manually only after the successful completion of the assessment
  • The Airside Safety Plus Recurrent course consists of only one module, does not include an assessment and allows participants to print the certificate independently.
• Airside Safety (common): this course is designed for all operators who enter airside unescorted but do not work under aircraft.
  • Please specify on the application form whether the course is for personnel working in the airside but not under aircraft (do not tick the 'works under aircraft' box)
  • The system will assign the appropriate course requested - initial or recurrent
  • For both initial and recurrent courses, participants are allowed to print the certificate independently
