Guard — Air

Airport duty

Take what you learned in Guard — Land to an airport: know the areas, check passes and gates, stay safe airside, support the terminal, protect cargo and aircraft within your limits, and report in the airport's way.

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 course is not PSARA-prescribed training and not a PSARA certificate.

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.

What this means where you work

The skills are the same everywhere. The legal and licensing rules differ by country, so each course carries a country card that follows your edition.

Working as a private guard at an Indian airport

◐ Partial coverage
About this card
The Act and the security rules are in force. Replacement security rules have been drafted but are not yet in force, and the content of the BCAS guard training course is not public, so this card is Partial. Checked on 10 October 2026.
What you must do
  1. Your agency needs two things: its PSARA licence and a BCAS security clearance.
  2. You do only the security duties assigned to you. Your post orders are your list. The Government has told Parliament that agency staff do "non-core" tasks under the CASO. We found no official public list of those tasks.
  3. The CASO's officers direct your security work. The airport operator handles administration.
  4. You may not carry a weapon, screen passengers or cabin bags, or take over the CASO's duties. The security rules give a private guard no special power to arrest or search.
  5. You wear your aerodrome entry permit above the waist, never lend it, and hand it back when told.
  6. Required training is separate from this course. The Ministry's Annual Report 2025 says a BCAS order of 2 May 2024 set a six-day AVSEC Foundation Course for agency staff. The order is not public. Ask your employer for the current rule.

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.
Can I read the lessons in Hindi?
Yes. In the India edition you can switch a lesson to Hindi. The Hindi text is machine translated and checked by an AI reviewer, not yet by a human reviewer, so the English original is always one tap away.
Who sells the course, and how is tax handled?
In the India edition the seller is VSVSV (Vidhi Sangat Vidyut Saksya Vinaya) Tech Private Limited. Prices include GST and you get a GST tax invoice.
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.
