Aviation security training
Interactive security training - IST
In the European Union, airport operators may grant unescorted access to the security-restricted areas of an airport only to those persons who have completed a valid aviation security training.
Computer-assisted interactive security training (IST) is available to all airport employees who need access to the security-restricted areas and have had no other aviation security training. The training content is aligned with legally prescribed provisions of point 11.2.6.2 of Chapter 11 of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 as well as the time frames and content-related requirements of the modular system of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior.
The training takes approximately three and a half hours. A test is taken at the end of the training. Training must be undertaken again after no more than five years.
Employees who have not spent any time in the security area within the last six months or longer must receive security awareness training from their employer before entering the security area again. 
This training must be documented and the employer must retain this documentation for a period of five years. It is not necessary to notify the Airport ID Card Service Center; ID cards are not automatically blocked. Completion of a repeated aviation security training course in accordance with clause 11.2.6 of the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 is not necessary in this case either.

Pursuant to point 11.2.6.2 of the Annex to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998, the training features a set of content that is prescribed for “persons other than passengers requiring unescorted access to security-restricted areas” of an airport. This content is coordinated with the Hessian Ministry of Transport as the supervisory authority, and complies with the time frames and national regulations of the German federal government. The interactive security training (IST) has been authorized under license number HE-HMWEVL-WBT-1126-001.
Successful completion of the training by way of the test is recorded, and the date is transmitted to the Airport ID Card management system automatically.
If another aviation security training course has been completed, the corresponding certificate can be examined and recognized if applicable. To this end, the training certificate, bearing the respective name, must be sent in clearly legible form as a pdf file via e-mail to
