The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in partnership with American Association of Community colleges (AACC) is pleased to announce additional class schedules and Points of Contacts (POC) for the fiscal year 2005 for the “Crew Member Self-Defense Training (CMSDT)” Program.

The objectives of this course are:

• Recognize potential threats before an act of violence occurs.
• Interpret behaviors that lead to potential hostile acts.
• Conclude appropriate course of action crewmembers must take to avert hostile actions intended to injure crewmembers or passengers or to take over an aircraft.
• Apply appropriate individual self-protection measures and self-defensive tactics to prevent or reduce the possibility of injury or death to one’s person or the take over of an aircraft.

Classes are limited to 24 volunteer crew members, per site, to ensure proper instructor to student ratio. The course duration will be 24 hours over the three day period with approximately 85% hands-on training. Crew Members must enroll for all 3 days, and must have active flight status.

To enroll in the classes, crew members should choose their preferred location and contact the Points of Contact (POC) listed below. The POC will provide details and requirements for attendance. Class participation is free to crewmembers; however, all travel, lodging and meal expenses are the responsibility of the participant.
