Dublin, 26-30 May 2025 — The Irish Aviation Authority hosted an ECAC Best Practices for National Auditors – Level 1 training course in Dublin. The course was delivered by two experienced aviation security auditors from Ireland and Malta.
Eight national auditors from Finland, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovenia took part, deepening their understanding of the roles, responsibilities and powers of national auditors. The programme also focused on developing the practical skills essential for conducting effective aviation security audits and inspections.
Participants were introduced to inspection and audit methodologies and relevant techniques, along with best practices used in preparing, conducting and reporting on security inspections and audits. Key focus areas included passenger and baggage screening, hold baggage screening and protection, and passenger-baggage reconciliation.
