Course Overview

The Certificate in Airport Passenger Flow Management is a 3 to 6-month introductory qualification that examines how a modern terminal moves passengers from kerb to gate under safety, security and service constraints. The syllabus draws on the passenger-experience conventions published by Airports Council International (ACI), the Airport Operators Association (AOA) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority so applicants finish with the operational vocabulary used at London and regional UK airports.

By graduation you will be able to map the passenger journey, identify the pinch-points that cause queues and delays, and speak competently at first-line airport assessment days for terminal, passenger services and customer experience roles.
