Aircrew Security Training (AST)

The AST (induction and recurrent) Course provides skills for aviation industry staff that complies with Aviation Transport Security Regulations (ATSR) and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) requirements whilst conforming to company UOF approach, operational requirements and stakeholder expectation.

It incorporates communication, CT issues including predictive profiling and behaviour of terrorists, incident response, protection of aircraft, anti-hijack, improvised explosive devices, defensive tactics and mechanical restraints.

The program includes a recurrent course of 8 hours in duration designed to maintain competency and currency and is afforded each 12 to 24 months dependent upon organisational policy.
This program is suitable for both large and small carriers.

Three frequently asked questions when planning your program.

Am I able to tailor a training program for my company?

Yes. PCC works closely with the client from the outset to design and build programs that suit the exact operational and workplace challenges faced with attention to the working environment, specific internal policy and with compliance regarding relevant legislation.  This process starts with an online meeting and brief Q&A process and where required, a visit to the workplace and interviews of key staff and finally program build. Once a pilot course is delivered we enter a refinement phase followed by post-delivery participant evaluation.

Are your training programs available in my state/territory?

Yes. PCC deliver training programs all across Australia and even extend to some off-shore locations. Procom has conducted training works in PNG, Nauru and on Christmas Island where our training was visited by the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

The PCC training contingent is a highly mobile team and regularly attend to clients in both metro and regional locations around the country, often catering for up to 6 courses per day. The team all possess training kit including IT and will set up in location and venue as provided by the client. Our electronic workbooks run with mobile WIFI to feed participant data at conclusion of training. Virtual reality and gamified training tools are also portable and carried with the team if this is optioned in training.

What do I receive when my training is complete?

A signed certificate of completion for the participant and a post training and participant evaluation report for the client. Participant attendance and evaluation scores are collected at the time of training via QR code.

PCC partners with a registered training organisation to issue nationally recognised units of competency and statements of attainment against its mapped training products should this be required.

Best part was the real life story situations told by the facilitator. Realistic small actions that will have a massive impact.

Great engagement. Do’s and Don’ts – contingency – physical state – talk naturally, think tactically landed well as an immediate response plan for me.

Learning the best and most effective ways to keep situations calm and to also protect yourself at the same time. The role playing was very useful including the various experiences related by the facilitators. The training was conducted in a lively, highly interactive manner, yet very informative with practical applications of what had been learned.

Training today went really well. In my opinion, the best we have had in the 20 years I’ve been here. It was really relevant to us and we could really relate to it.
