AEO Practitioner Safety & Security Accreditation

A two-day Authorised Economic Operator pathway focused on supply chain security, risk assessment, countermeasures, and audit readiness.

Description

The AEO Practitioner Safety & Security Accreditation is designed for delegates who need to understand the safety and security requirements within the AEO standard and how these expectations apply across the supply chain.

This two-day pathway focuses on supply chain vulnerability, security management systems, physical security, personnel awareness, risk assessment, countermeasures, and preparing for safety and security elements of an AEO audit.

Attendance Options

Delegates can attend in person at Strong & Herd’s training room in Manchester, conveniently located near Manchester Airport and local train stations. Virtual attendance is also available, although in-person attendance is recommended where possible to maximise learning, interaction, and practical discussion.

Assessment & Certification

Delegates will complete two online assessments, one for each unit. Each assessment is expected to take approximately one hour and must be completed within two weeks of attending the course.

On successful completion of the required assessments, delegates can complete the accreditation and receive certification through SFJ Awards.
