Anti-Trafficking in Human Beings
1. “The Training Tool focusing on combating Trafficking in Human Beings” (THB) was
developed in cooperation with experts from MS/SAC, EU agencies/NGOs and international
organisations following the recommendations of the Frontex Annual Risk Analysis. It
provides a common basis for the provision of training for border guard officers in
preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and in handling victims with respect
for their dignity and fundamental rights.
For 2013, further dissemination activities (workshops etc.) are planned to ensure
implementation at the national level.
Budget: EUR 170.000
SPECIFIC TRAINING ACTIVITIES: Air-crew
The Crew Exchange activity will be closely linked to the EBGT exchange and focused on air
crew members nominated to the EBGT pool. The objectives of the aircrew training are
primarily to increase the safety and interoperability of air operations and to increase the
ability to detect and rescue migrants at sea.
1. Manuals: the manual aims to harmonize the training of MS/SAC Air Crew members and to
ensure a common level of knowledge and competence amongst the border guards
concerned. The “Multiplier Training”, in connection to this, aims at training the multipliers
for the national implementation of the manual.
2. Resources and Coordination training: “Crew Resource Management (CRM)” is a training
course aiming to improve the safety culture in the aviation units of the Member States
while “Air-Sea Coordination Training” is a course focused on enhancing the tactical
knowledge and proficiency of Member States’ aircrews and maritime units involved in Air-
Sea operations, based on the experiences gained by the host Member State.
3. Survival Training: “Survival Training” provides the participants with necessary knowledge
on how to behave and operate in emergency situations in mountainous environments. In a
similar way the course aims to provide the minimum competence standards for personal
survival techniques (for helicopter and aircraft crew members).
4. Technical equipment: “Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Operator Training” aims to provide
standardized training for FLIR Operators enabling them to efficiently operate the FLIR
System when deployed to day/night Frontex missions. “Night Vision Goggle Training (NVG)”
aims to enhance the night flight competence of helicopter pilots and flight technicians
from Member State Border Guard Aviation Units; who in turn will act as multipliers and
pass on the knowledge within the MS/SAC.
5. Exchange programme: “Crew Exchange” is a two-week exchange programme conducted by
the Border Guard Aviation of the host Member State.
