Airport Screeners’ Computer-Based Training Pushes the Envelope

This podcast discusses how computer-based training (CBT) is revolutionising the preparation of airport security screeners to address evolving threats and technological advancements. It highlights key trends such as increasing passenger volumes, updated regulatory standards, and the emergence of non-metallic improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and immersive imaging devices (IIDs). The podcast further explains how the CBT industry is adapting by developing 3D simulators, mobile-friendly platforms, and new modules to support certification and recurrent training. Finally, it explores customer expectations for convenience, consistency, and compliance in CBT solutions, alongside future developments like modularity, AI integration, and the adoption of gaming graphics to enhance learning.
