Hundreds Apply For Jobs As Airport Security Officers
They come from all walks of life to train as security officers at Manchester Airport.
Everybody from company directors milkmen, teachers, senior police officers and law students want to put on the blue uniform and undergo the rigorous training programme.
Last year, a staggering 759 people applied for jobs as security officers. So far, this year, the airport has received 270 applications for security officer jobs since an advert went into the airport Jobcentre four weeks ago.
The rigorous training programme lasts three weeks and recruits are shown how to search people and search bags, use of X-ray screening machines, searching aircraft and vehicles, detection of explosives, recognition of
weapons, firearms and explosive devices, patrolling, as well as questioning
passengers and dealing with aggressive behaviour.
The training is done in classroom conditions but there is plenty of on the job training under supervision from trainers and team leaders. The recruits are given a daily test and have to pass a written exam at the end of the course.
John Cordingley, Aviation Security Training Consultant at Manchester Airport, said: "The training programme is very rigorous over the three- week period. The recruits have to take a test each day and then a final written exam at the end of the course.
"Security staff also have continuous training after they qualify to keep them aware of changes in technology and equipment as well as regulatory requirements in the National Aviation Security Programme."
