X-Ray Baggage Scanner (Theory Only Training)
Course Duration: 8 Hours (Theory Only)
Course Description
This theory-only training provides participants with essential knowledge of X-ray baggage scanning systems used in airports, government facilities, and high-security environments. The course explains how X-ray scanners work, how images are formed, and how threats can be identified through image analysis. Participants will also learn safety procedures, screening protocols, and regulatory requirements related to X-ray operations. This program is ideal for individuals needing theoretical understanding without hands-on practice.
