Readiness, not a licence. This course builds knowledge and readiness and ends with a Record of Completion. It is not a government certification and does not by itself grant any licence, authority or regulatory approval.

This is a knowledge course. It is not AVSEC training and is not recognised by any aviation security authority.

Do the Guard — Land courses (Parts 1–3) first. This is a short add-on course. It builds on what that course teaches and does not repeat it.

What you'll learn

  • Say why aviation security is different and who does what
  • Read the airport map: landside, airside and restricted areas
  • Check airport passes, visitors and escorts, and run a staff or vehicle gate
  • Know your supporting part in screening and its limits
  • Work safely airside: jet blast, loose objects and right of way
  • Know the groups of prohibited items and what to do: do not touch, keep people back, report
  • Guard cargo, catering, aircraft and the perimeter within your limits
  • Play your part in an airport emergency and report it the right way

Who it's for

  •  Guards posted at airports
  •  Guards who finished Guard — Land (Parts 1–3)
  •  Agencies that supply guards to airports

No prior training needed for the first lesson. Read it free to judge the level.

Common questions

Do I need to finish Guard — Land first?
It is strongly recommended. This is a short add-on: it builds on the three Guard — Land parts and does not repeat them. Nothing stops you buying it on its own.
Is this aviation security (AVSEC) training?
No. Aviation security training required by an airport's rules comes from approved institutes. In India that is the aviation security course at institutes approved by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security. This course does not replace it and is not a licence.
Does it teach passenger screening?
No. Screening is done by trained screening staff approved for that work. This course explains how a guard supports screening, which items to keep away from, and when to report.
Is this an official licence or certification?
No. Guarding.Tech is a private training provider. A course builds knowledge and readiness and ends with a Record of Completion. It is not a licence, a regulator's certificate or an accreditation, and it is not endorsed by any government agency.
Can I try it before I pay?
Yes. The first lesson of each course is open to read, with no sign-up.
How do I get a Record of Completion?
Finish the lessons, then pass the course’s final assessment with 70% or more. Your Record carries a number and a QR code that anyone can check on the verify page. It shows only your name (or initials), the course, the date and its status.
How long do I keep access?
Paid access lasts 12 months from the day you buy. You can study at your own pace and come back to any lesson during that time. Your Record of Completion stays verifiable after access ends.
Who sells the course, and how is tax handled?
In the Australia edition the seller is Vanaranya LLC. Tax, where it applies, is calculated at checkout from your billing country.
Can I buy seats for my team?
Yes. Agencies and sites can buy seats for their guards, assign courses and see progress and results. Larger teams get a discount. See For organisations.
