General Security Awareness Training (GSAT)
GSAT Training Certificate - Overview
General Security Awareness Training (GSAT) is the minimum aviation security training that any airport employee will need to complete in order to be issued with an Airport Identification Card (AIC) and thus, unescorted access to the Security Restricted Area (SRA) of an airport in the United Kingdom.
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.

What are the Prerequisites to sit GSAT training
Any candidate who wants to sit an Aviation Security course will need to have an Operational Need/Legitimate reason to sit the training. They will also need to be enrolled by their employer, who is also responsible for completing a Background Check to ensure that the candidate is eligible to sit the training and also has no disqualifying prosecutions that would inhibit the candidate from undertaking their role at the airport.
GSAT Training Certificate- Final Test
All trainees need to pass a final exam in order to demonstrate competence and successfully complete the security course.The pass mark is 85%. If a trainee fails for the first time, they will be given a second attempt at the exam. If a trainee fails twice, they will have to be re-enrolled and retake the entire course.
Certificate
Once the trainee has passed the final exam, they will be provided with an e-Certificate that can be printed. The certificate is then valid for 5 years.
Approvals
In the United Kingdom, GSAT training is required to be delivered by a Quality Assured Aviation Security Training Provider. A list of the current QA training providers is available on the Civil Aviation Authority website.
Training must also be delivered by an Civil Aviation Authority Certificated Instructor. Again, this list is available on the CAA’s AvSec website.
