AVSEC Professional Management Course

Aviation security has become a top priority for the 193 member States of the International Civil Aviation Organization. Aviation security is a global responsibility. It is now international and it requires the participation of all stakeholders.

Aviation security needs management personnel with the skills to work in multi-cultural teams and environments. The Aviation Security (AVSEC) Professional Management Course (PMC) is the first one of its kind in the world. This course was created in partnership with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations.

The AVSEC PMC is aligned to ICAO’s strategic objectives and contributes to the Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP) initiative.
