Training is designed to achieve specific training objectives for all qualified members of the target population for which it has been developed. This means that by taking into consideration the qualifications and experience of the trainee population, each course is designed to provide the training necessary for mastery of the skills required to meet the training objectives. This materially improves the success rate of the training. Over the past few decades, there has been a revolution in training techniques and training development methodology, among the most recent being the use of computers. This training is geared to the use of these new techniques.
Training is material-oriented.
Course documentation is sufficiently comprehensive to ensure that different instructors in different settings, using the same materials, will achieve highly similar results. Any qualified instructor can use the material, and he or she need not be a dedicated aviation security instructor. Finally, the training can be undertaken when it is needed. It is available to be used to address deficiencies in skills and knowledge. It should not, however, be used to solve problems for which management or improved security features are the more appropriate solutions.
