In 2018 the training provision for threat assessment changed, with the old distance learning workbook replaced by an e-learning package, called Industry Threat Assessment Training (ITAT).

The new online training package is available to all regulated entities formally in receipt of directions under the UK National Aviation Security Programme (NASP), i.e. airlines, airports, regulated cargo agents and in-flight suppliers, and is supported by the CAA Training Team.

Certificated Instructors - please note that the system is designed for directed parties to be able to manage the training of their threat assessors. They may of course continue to use your services, but they will need to register you on their account in the system. An offline syllabus is also available for instructors wishing to deliver threat assessment training in the classroom.
