In line with EU Requirement 2320, GSAT training has now been in existence since November 2007 and all staff working in the Security Restricted Area (SRA) of a Department for Transport controlled airport will need to hold a current certificate. Newly recruited staff will need to undergo this training as a prerequisite to applying for an airport ID pass.

- Staff who have received certain other security training – for example, air cargo, in-flight catering, and job functions which include security as part of their training (eg security staff, air crew, etc), are exempt.
