Airports may permit air carriers to proctor SIDA training.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not specified
• D. Only at some airports

Answer: (B)

SIDA training is a required credentialing step for anyone needing access to restricted airport areas, and airports can delegate the administration of that training to entities authorized to do so. It’s common for airports to allow air carriers to proctor the training for their own staff or contractors under an approved arrangement. This helps speed up badge issuance and keeps training aligned with the carrier’s operations, while still meeting the standards set by TSA. The proctor’s job is to administer the training or test, verify identity, ensure completion, and record results within the airport’s credentialing system, all under appropriate oversight. Whether this option is available depends on the airport’s security policies and agreements, so it’s not universal, but it is a permitted possibility.
