How do I book myself onto a course? 

Drop us an email on info@airsidetraining.co.uk with the following information: 

  1. Name of driver & chosen date 
  1. A clear photo of your HAL airport staff ID 
  1. DVLA Licence check which can be carried via the DVLA website https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence *Click on the generate code tab, then click on save/print, then save the pdf to send to us* 
  1. A clear photo of your current or previous airport driving permit (if you have one) 

We will send you our latest availability and send your documents to Heathrow Safety Team for approval. Once you let us know what date you’d like to be booked in for and we have the go-ahead from the Safety Team, we will send you a booking confirmation.  

What do I need to bring to my driver training course? 

You will need: 

  • A completed medical questionnaire (this will be sent to you beforehand) 
  • Mask/face covering
