Badge Training

All badge holders must attend a training class before receiving their badge. Applicants cannot attend training until after their application has been submitted and their initial screening has been passed. The Security and badge training takes place online through Microsoft Teams every Tuesday morning at 10:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M. This link will be given to Authorized Signatories who will then pass it along to the new applicant. New applicants will not receive a badge until they have attended training.

Appointment Scheduling

The badging office will now utilize an appointment scheduling software for all badging needs. As the badging staff takes on more duties and tasks, our availability will decrease. Having set badge appointments will ensure there is always someone available to take care of any badging requests. The appointment scheduler is meant for Authorized Signatories and General Aviation only as there is a specific process for badging.
