    Disclaimer
    This is not a direct job offer from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This posting promotes an independent resource that helps applicants prepare for TSA's hiring process.

    The TSA does not charge any fee to apply, but their process requires candidates to pass the TSA Computer-based Test (CBT), which many find confusing and/or difficult.

    All hiring decisions are made only by TSA. Our goal is to provide the best resources to help with your application and hiring journey.
    TSA Hiring Process
    Online application for a TSO role
    TSA CBT exam (X-ray image/object recognition and reading skills)
    Airport assessment / interview
    Background investigation, medical screening, and drug test
    Final job offer and training date (if selected by TSA)
    Passing the CBT and doing well at each step greatly improves your chances of being hired.
