If you are looking for an aircraft marshalling course, start with the work your learner or team will do. An individual who needs to understand signals and aircraft-movement hazards has a different training plan from a supervisor preparing a whole ramp team for local practical evaluation. Online study and on-site instruction can support both goals, but their roles should be clear before you buy.
- Choose the scopeMatch the subject to the learner’s role and aircraft environment.
- Study and practiceUse online knowledge and interactive practice for preparation.
- Arrange practical evaluationAgree local hands-on instruction and authorization separately.
What should an aircraft marshalling course cover?
WWAOG’s TM-001 focuses on standard marshalling signals, movement hazards, safe positioning and coordination between flight crew and ground personnel. It is an online knowledge and interactive-practice course. Review the published contents and enrollment requirements before selecting it for your role.
Choose a course for the decisions you need to understand. Signal recognition is one part of aircraft ground handling; communication, awareness of the operating area and knowledge of the team’s responsibilities also belong in the training discussion. This guide does not teach a signal sequence or authorize an aircraft movement.
Does online completion qualify someone to marshal an aircraft?
Online knowledge and practice are preparation for practical work. They do not replace observed handling proficiency, employer authorization or applicable local requirements. A learner’s online completion should therefore be kept distinct from the organization’s practical qualification decision.
For a team, identify who will deliver the hands-on instruction and evaluate performance in the actual operating environment. Agree how that evaluation and any required authorization will be documented. WWAOG can discuss separately arranged on-site instruction matched to your team’s training needs.
Which related subjects should a ramp team consider?
TM-002 covers flight-line safety and ramp operations, while TM-003 addresses FOD prevention and control. These are separate online courses, available alongside TM-001. Compare their individual descriptions with your team’s responsibilities rather than assuming one enrollment includes every subject.
An operator may need marshalling preparation for some staff and broader hazard or FOD training for others. Select the relevant course for each learning goal and confirm its current content on the Academy page.
How do I enroll as an individual?
Open the specific TM-001 course link below, review its current price and scope, then sign in or create your Academy learner account to enroll. The enrollment page is where you purchase and access the course. Prices and purchase conditions remain on that page.
If you are uncertain about suitability, email info@wwaog.com with your role, aircraft environment and learning goal before purchasing. Include the course code so we can discuss the exact course you are considering.
What information is needed for a team training quote?
For tailored on-site instruction, describe the aircraft types, training location, number of learners, experience level and intended responsibilities. Explain the topics you want to cover and your preferred dates. This helps define a useful scope before a quotation or schedule is agreed.
- Aircraft types and operating environment
- Training location and preferred dates
- Team size, experience and responsibilities
- Subjects to cover and practical evaluation needs
