Approval from the TSA regarding the required background check. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION FROM START TO FINISH AND THEN WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS.

YOU MUST COMPLY WITH ALL OF THESE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO BEGIN TRAINING. The entire process can take from one month to several months, depending upon the country in which you reside.
