The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Academy West has been launched in Las Vegas. The building is located near Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), where Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) will have access to a dedicated training checkpoint.
After a TSO is hired, they will work at their home airport for approximately three months. Once they have completed this initial phase of their employment, they will participate in one week of virtual training taught by TSA Academy instructors. The second leg of their initial training includes two weeks of in-residence, standardized training at either TSA Academy West or TSA Academy East. Their training concludes with on-the-job training at their home airport following graduation from the TSA Academy.
