This is a regulated role: typically 12th-pass, with mandatory AVSEC training and certification completed through the employer or an authorised training provider as part of onboarding (InternAVIA does not issue or guarantee AVSEC certification). Attention to detail, integrity and calm under pressure matter most; freshers who can meet the training and screening standards are welcome to register interest.

Aviation Security / Screener (AVSEC) — FAQs
What does an Aviation Security Screener do?+
An Aviation Security Screener screens passengers, baggage and cargo at the airport, interprets X-ray imagery, applies access-control and AVSEC procedures, and maintains vigilance at the checkpoint — a safety-critical, regulated role.
Do I need AVSEC certification to be a security screener?+
Aviation security is a regulated function, so it requires mandatory AVSEC training and certification — typically provided by the employer or an authorised training provider as part of onboarding, not by InternAVIA. A 12th-pass background, attention to detail and integrity are the usual starting points.
Can freshers apply for aviation security roles?+
Yes, where they can meet the training and screening standards. Because the role is regulated, certification and vetting are part of onboarding. Register your interest and InternAVIA can consider you for suitable AVSEC opportunities.
Is this the same as a police or armed role?+
No. Aviation security screening is a civil airport-security function focused on screening and access control under AVSEC regulations — it is not a police or armed-forces role.
