Overview - BSAT Airport Security Training

Basic Security Awareness Training (BSAT) is the minimum aviation security training that any airport employee will need to be issued with an Airport Identification Card (AIC) and thus, unescorted access to the Security Restricted Area (SRA). This course is created and delivered by our Irish Aviation Authority Certified Aviation Security Instructor – Allan Whyte (CIN 38) and delivered by our approved Aviation Security Training Organisation (Butterfly Training ASTO).

Note: there will be additional theoretical, practical and on the job training requirements for most roles within an airport and your employer will ensure that you have the required training before commencing your position.
