Effective security systems are increasingly important in protecting the international aviation infrastructure and those using it. Therefore, high quality aviation security training is vital and Wilson James is one of an elite group of companies rated \u2018outstanding\u2019 by the\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em>During the 20 years that I\u2019ve worked in aviation security training,<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0I\u2019ve witnessed a seismic shift in the way that airports operate. This is not altogether surprising given the level of known and emerging threats to airports and air travel generally, and me and my team at Wilson James are proud to be recognised for what we do to make these environments safer.<\/p>\n Mark of distinction<\/strong><\/p>\n On 1st April 2019 the CAA officially introduced its\u00a0Quality Assurance Framework<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>to provide a baseline quality standard for aviation security training providers. On its introduction, Peter Drissell, director of CAA\u00a0Aviation Security, stated, \u2018It is about taking a systemic approach\u00a0to managing aviation security, in ways\u00a0which serve to instil security in the\u00a0routine daily activities of an organisation,\u00a0and indeed in its very culture.\u2019<\/p>\n For many aviation security training professionals like myself the Quality Assurance Framework provides a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate a proven track record in leading, developing and delivering education that ensures a safe and secure environment, and achieves compliance with government regulations. Only training providers like us that are registered with the CAA to deliver mandatory Department for Transport (DfT) Aviation Security syllabuses are now permitted to do so.<\/p>\n The process is designed to be rigorous \u2013 rightly so \u2013 and I\u2019m delighted to say that since the inception of the Quality Assurance Framework, Wilson James has achieved an Outstanding rating.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
