I'd like to know how your training system is currently setup because ours seems broken and very drawn out at the moment. As of January CATSA instituted a system whereby there'd be three levels of basic screeners. Level 1 screeners have to work the door as a greeter/pass-checker for forty hours before they can go onto Level 2. They then take the Level 2 course and wand and do manual bag searches for forty hours. Then they are tested on these skills and if they pass they are trained up to the Level 3 standards which include carry-on x-ray and ETD usage. Once they do forty hours of training and pass the test for these machines they are finally a fully qualified basic screener. Problem is though, with all these intermediate training sessions and tests we are having a heck of a a time getting testers and trainers scheduled in a timely fashion. We have three new screeners that have been working since March and they didn't get their Level 2 test until today. No word on when Level 3 training is and it doesn't really matter at this point anyways because two of them failed (one missed a bloody gun in a sweater during a manual, non-x-rayed bag search).
