The training is designed to address the following:

• The lack of training and understanding of the various security checkpoint tools and usage techniques, is a significant weakness at most checkpoints. There is a potential for perpetrators to enter facilities with lethal weapons. Training and awareness of the threat will significantly increase the quest for a secure and safe environment.



• A training solution for the following security systems:
• X-Ray Machines
• Walk Through Metal Detectors
• Hand Wand Metal Detectors

• Classroom Instruction
• Computer based education and equipment simulation training
• Hands on demonstration
• Simulated Training Aids

• Quality Control to insure security systems are calibrated correctly
• Effective operation of the available security equipment
• Quality Control operational exercises to ensure CSO's are identifying potential threats
• Training Aids for Hands-on Demonstrations

The training covers the following:

• Basic understanding of X-Ray Machines Theory, Terminology and Technology
• Understanding of the Homemade Explosive (HME) and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) threat
• Understanding of other threat items (guns & knives)
• Awareness of the most common threat concealment scenarios
• Image Interpretation techniques
• Understanding the correct operational techniques for hand wand detectors
• Understanding of Walk through metal detectors
• How to make use of the various management and analysis tools provided to the Trainers by our 'Centralized Management System'
