Summary and objectives of the training

 

Who is this training for?

Since certification in the transport of dangerous goods by air must be renewed every 2 years, this training is intended for people who have already taken IATA training and who need to update their certification.

If you send dangerous goods by air, even in small quantities, this training becomes a must. If you wonder about any of the following questions in the course of your work, IATA training will enable you to send compliant packages and avoid rejected and returned shipments. The shipment of a dangerous product by air begins in the laboratory with a correct classification, the verification that the product can be sent by air as well as the choice of packaging. 

  • Are you able to properly classify your product for transport?
  • Are you able to choose the right container?
  • Do you know the packaging standards?
  • Would you be able to recognize non-compliant packaging?
  • Do you know how to fill out the appropriate documentation?
  • Do you know the legal repercussions and hazards of a non-compliant shipment?

 

Do I need to have any prerequisites to take this course?

This training is focused on shipping hazardous materials by air. You will learn how to prepare your packages so that they comply with the regulations in force and how to produce the necessary documents for these shipments. This is a refresher course, so you must have completed IATA training in the past. This training will allow you to update yourself with the regulations.

 

Learning Objective

This training aims to support companies that must send their products by air, according to IATA Regulations. Each participant will learn to master all the steps from classification to documentation for their shipments.

The training also includes practical exercises to make the learning a reality. Each participant will receive a training workbook for future reference and a training certificate.
