Cargo Training International offers specialist courses for shipping Radioactive Material. We offer a public classroom course for Radioactive Materials by Air, with a revalidation option. Radioactive Materials by Road and Sea are also offered but only as an inhouse course. 

The full (2 day) public and inhouse courses are intended for those students who have not undertaken the subject matter before. The one day revalidation modules can only be undertaken by persons already holding a valid Radioactive Materials certificate and are confident with using the DG regulations and ship radioactive material on a regular basis.

It is highly recommended that students undertaking this course have already attended a Dangerous Goods training programme relating to the same mode of transport. Our standard dangerous goods courses cover the navigation of the DG regulations which are not covered on a radioactive materials programme.

The course objectives are: 

• Locate information concerning the classification of radioactive materials in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
• Prepare and check packages containing radioactive materials. 
• Complete and check the Shippers Declaration for radioactive materials.
• Apply the regulations covering segregation and stowage of radioactive materials in accordance with the Dangerous Goods Regulations
• Pack radioactive materials correctly.
• Be able to take correct action in the event of damage to radioactive materials packages.

On completion of this course, which includes a written examination, candidates will receive a certificate. Successful students completing the Air exam will be registered with the CAA. Certificates are valid for 24 months.
