BSG Certifies Five Civil Aviation Security Trainers
Bermuda Security Group [BSG] has announced successful accreditation of five locals at the International Civil Aviation Organization [ICAO] Certified Instructors course hosted at their facility.
Bermuda Security Group hosted an ICAO Certified Instructors Course which yielded five internationally accredited airport security trainers for Bermuda. Back row l- r: Chuck Santiago, Anthony Mouchette, Devon Erskine. Front row l-r: Ronnika Darrell, Nigel Jones [instructor] Ivan Outerbridge.
The accreditation meets standards set by the ICAO, a United Nations specialized agency, which sets forth standards and protocols related to air matters and aviation security. Jurisdictions with international airports such as LF Wade International must meet ICAO security standards.
Bermuda Security Group engaged Redline Assured Security, an ICAO accredited organization to deliver the seven-day course in Bermuda.
According to the provider’s website, the course is designed for personnel involved in development, management, and or instruction of training materials related to a civil aviation security training programme. It is particularly geared for airport operators, and aviation security services providers such as BSG and its sister company, Security Associates [SA].
BSG invited Skyport to send a team member to join the training course, which included trainers from BSG and SA. They are now all certified as trainers.
Company representative, Wayne Edwards said, “The investment in training and certifying our people at the frontline of Bermuda’s aviation security is key. We could always just bring in an international trainer, but for us it makes sense to have a pool of instructors at the ready who can deliver internal training efficiently.”
He continued, “This is another demonstration of commitment by the group of companies to maintain standards, protect our ports and create a knowledgeable, internationally accredited workforce.”
