Before joining an operation, our personnel undertake training appropriate to their roles and responsibilities.
From security awareness and frontline operational duties through to specialist functions and supervisory responsibilities, our approach helps ensure our people are equipped with the knowledge and competence required for the environments in which they work.
Training forms the foundation for the professionalism, consistency and operational awareness we expect from every member of the Pyrex team.
Pyrex delivers a comprehensive range of aviation security training, supporting personnel across different roles and operational environments. Our training develops the knowledge, competence and awareness required to carry out security responsibilities effectively, with programmes delivered according to the requirements of each role.

Where appropriate, our training is delivered face-to-face by experienced instructors, creating an environment where our people can engage directly, ask questions and demonstrate their understanding throughout the learning process.
Our instructors bring practical aviation knowledge into the classroom, helping connect training with the situations and responsibilities personnel may encounter within real operations.
We believe effective training goes beyond course completion. It is about developing genuine understanding, practical competence and the confidence to perform when it matters.
Training shaped by the realities of aviation.
Aviation is constantly evolving — and the development of our people continues with it.
Recurrent and refresher training helps our personnel maintain their knowledge, reinforce essential skills and remain aware of relevant regulatory, security and operational developments.
Alongside formal training, operational learning and continued development help ensure our teams maintain the standards expected throughout their time with Pyrex.

Technical competence is only one part of delivering an exceptional aviation service.
Alongside role-specific and regulatory training, we invest in the wider professional development of our people — strengthening the interpersonal, operational and leadership skills that help them perform effectively within complex, customer-focused environments.
Compliance establishes the standard. Our investment in people goes further.
Strong operations depend on strong leadership.
As our people progress into supervisory and management responsibilities, their development evolves with them. Pyrex supports its leaders with further training focused on managing people, maintaining standards, effective communication, decision-making and operational responsibility.
This helps ensure the standards developed through initial training are reinforced at every level of the operation.
