The United Kingdom has sponsored the delivery of Pakistan's first International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) accredited Aviation Security National Inspector's Course delivered by ICAO certified instructors. ICAO (supported by the UK Department for Transport Aviation Security Liaison Officer) delivered a two week course for twenty three Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and Airports Security Force (ASF) candidates. A certificate presentation ceremony was held today at the CAA's headquarters in Karachi.
The National Inspector's Course provides candidates with a globally recognised aviation security qualification. The participants spent time at the airport conducting practical exercises as part of the course, giving students the theoretical and practical knowledge required to prepare for, conduct, and present findings related to an aviation security inspection as part of a robust National Quality Control system.
The sponsoring of this course is part of the UK's commitment to work closely with the Pakistani aviation authorities, supporting the growth of the sector and helping to ensure the safety and security of passengers.
