Training / E-Learning

E-Learning webinars

Duration: 1-3 days
Language : EN, FR

What does it involve?
A series of interactive e-learning webinars will be offered with a remote instructor (or instructors) from the CASE II Team .They will serve as a general overview of civil aviation security topics prior to the delivery of an in-country activity  or as supplementary learning following activity delivery.

The webinar may target a subject relating to a specific aviation threat or type of mitigation. It will seek to provide practical training, and will include a question and answer session with the instructor. A wide range of e-learning topics are possible for delivery. Examples of such topics are:

  • Insider threats;
  • Cyber security;
  • Covert testing, overt testing;
  • Use of explosive detection dogs;
  • Management of security equipment;
  • Behavioural detection;
  • Screener certification;
  • Cargo and mail security;
  • Security culture;
  • Landside security;
  • Risk assessment.

The CASE II Project Team will provide information to Partner States (PSs) about available webinars via the CASE II website.

Who should participate?
Each PS is able to nominate suitable participants based on the webinar subject.

What is expected of the Partner State?
Each PS is expected to advertise and promote the e-learning webinar within its Civil Aviation Authority and among staff of all relevant organisations involved in designing, delivering, auditing or regulating aviation security.

How will it work?
Each e-learning webinar will be advertised by the CASE II Project Team when it becomes available. During the webinar, each individual will be able to interact with the instructor, submit questions and receive relevant practical information. Although not necessarily a pre-requisite, the PS might use e-learning as a way of identifying potential participants for on-site activities under a Country Programme of Action, or whose aptitude in relation to supplementary e-learning modules marks them out as potential future national experts in the subject.

What will be delivered?
Each e-learning webinar will be provided to the PS as a web link, along with an access password sent separately, which can be passed on to individuals attending the web-based seminar. Depending on the webinar, a training video or documents may be provided in advance as pre-requisite viewing material. Each participant will be able to ask questions to the instructor during and after the webinar.

What happens afterwards?
The PSs are encouraged to offer further suggestions to the CASE II Project Team with respect to additional e-learning webinars they feel would be helpful, either in preparing for a training event under their Country Programme of Action, or as a way of supplementing and reinforcing the knowledge and experience gained during such an event.

E-Learning courses

Duration: 1-3 days
Language : EN, FR

What does it involve?
The webinars offered by the CASE II Project are intended as an introduction to certain topics in civil aviation security, acting as a precursor to on-site activity or as supplementary learning  post-delivery. Courses will be advertised on the CASE II website. 

Who should participate?
E-learning courses will be available to individuals or organisations formally nominated by the Partner State (PS). As such, it is important for the PS to assess course content to ensure identification of the most appropriate participants.

What is expected of the Partner State?
To generate interest in participating in the webinar, the PSs are expected to advertise and promote online courses from the CASE II Project Team within its Civil Aviation Authority and among staff of all relevant organisations involved in designing, delivering, auditing or regulating aviation security.

How will it work?
Each e-learning course will be advertised by the CASE II Project Team to the PSs as and when it comes on stream. Although not necessarily a pre-requisite, a PS can use e-learning as a way of identifying those individuals that might be invited to take part in on-site activities under a Country Programme of Action, or whose aptitude on supplementary e-learning modules marks them out as potential future national experts in the subject.

What will be delivered?
Each e-learning course will be provided to the PS as a web link, along with an access password sent separately, which can be passed on to individuals taking the course.

What happens afterwards?
The PSs are encouraged to offer further suggestions to the CASE II Project Team on e-learning courses they feel would be helpful, either in preparing for a training event under their Country Programme of Action, or as a way of supplementing and reinforcing the knowledge and experience gained during such an event.

Online seminar
on key aviation security issues

Duration: 1 day
Number of participants: max. 150
Language : EN, FR

What does it involve? 
The online seminar will include a detailed discussion of current local and regional aviation security issues. Importantly, discussions will incorporate views relating to current threats faced by the Partner States (PSs) and best practices in mitigation. A panel of experts will share their experience and present their views and priorities in the implementation of mitigation measures. The panel will contribute to debate regarding mitigation put in place by the PSs, as well as discussing best practice examples of such mitigation deployed by ECAC Member States. These include, but need not be limited to the following issues:

  • Cyber security threats;
  • Insider threats;
  • Threats posed by remotely-piloted aircraft systems;
  • Threats to aviation posed by chemical and biological attacks;
  • Region-specific security topics.

Other topics can be added to adapt to the regional, sub-regional or local threat picture.

Who should participate?

  • Government agencies involved in aviation security policy development and delivery (e.g. Civil Aviation Authority, Ministry of Interior and other law enforcement departments, Ministry of Defence and intelligence agencies);
  • Airport management and managers from any private contractors delivering security at the PSs’ airports;
  • Airport Emergency Preparedness and Response Committees.
  • Air Traffic Control;
  • Security representatives from the Airport Operations Committee.

What is expected of the Partner States?
The PSs are expected to ensure designation of experts who meet the requirements set for the seminar population (profile, language skills).

How will it work?
Seminars will be delivered over a period of 2 working days to a maximum of 150 participants. The initial phase of the discussion will look at international and regional/sub-regional views on current aviation security issues and threats posed to the civil aviation sector (‘assessing the threat’). For threats, the debate may focus on specific examples of actual or planned attacks by terrorist groups using the methodology or involving the target described in the threat phase of the seminar, thereby giving practical examples of how such threats can transform into real incidents (‘understanding the nature of the threat’). In the final phase of the seminar (‘mitigating the threat’), the discussion will look at mitigation measures currently implemented including a discussion of best practice and areas of potential development.

What will be delivered?
At the end of the seminar participants will be provided with access (via a restricted website) to the associated technical presentations. Participants should refer to the presentation content after the event to ensure the information delivered in the seminar is absorbed. 

What happens afterwards?
The CASE II Project’s wider programme of activities includes a range of operational, on-site activities to be organised in the individual PSs. These aim to address the various emerging threats at a national level by providing mentoring-like support with particular focus on insider threats, considered as a high priority among those listed above.
