Course Overview
This aviation supervision program is designed for experienced aviation security screeners who are moving into team leader or supervisory roles within Australian domestic and international airport environments. The course develops the skills required to coordinate screening operations, manage staff and rostering, oversee the use of screening equipment, and ensure compliance with aviation transport security procedures across passenger and baggage screening areas. Learners build capability in managing human factors, fatigue risk, workplace health and safety, and situational awareness while supervising screening activities in sterile and secure zones.

Emphasis is placed on leadership, communication, incident response and the effective supervision of screening technologies such as X-ray and 3D CT systems, explosive trace detection equipment and body scanners. On completion, graduates are prepared to support and lead aviation security screening teams within approved transport security programs, contributing to safe, compliant and efficient airport operations.
