Appointments

  • Your Authorized Signer determines which training courses you must take.
  • Each course takes approximately 1 hour to complete.
  • At the end of each course, you must pass a test to demonstrate your knowledge of the course material; if you fail the test, you may be requested to retake the course on a different day and/or time.
  • Applicants are not permitted to collaborate or otherwise cheat on tests, and outside assistance is not permitted except as described below in Request for Accommodation. The training room is monitored by CCTV. Anyone caught cheating will be removed from the room and not allowed to proceed with training until approved by the Airport Security Coordinator.
