We have created a series of specialised training programmes for Military Airfields that includes an introduction to airfield lighting, an intermediate airside maintenance and a advanced level military design course.

Training Summary

• To teach delegates the national standards for military airfield lighting systems.
• To teach delegates AGL luminaire maintenance, AGL military compliance.
• To teach delegates CCR maintenance including primary circuits, safe isolation procedures.
• To teach delegates military AGL signage positioning and design.

• Personnel involved in the installation / maintenance of Military Airfield Ground Lighting.
• Military Contractors involved in AGL installation and maintenance projects.
• New Electricians and Engineering Apprentices joining a military airside operations team

The Military Airfield Lighting Course teaches delegates the main safety principles when working airside on a military airfield. The training details the ‘Health and Safety at Work Act’ and the ‘Electricity at Work Act’ as applied to military AGL systems.

The standard training course is based on information provided in MOD publication, JSP554, JSP 375 chapter 3. However additional material is also taken from ICAO Annex 14 and any relevant national supplements.

On the successful pass of a final exam on day 5, successful delegates will receive an Airfield Training Company ‘Military Airfield Ground Lighting Course Certification’.
