Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO)
Dangerous Goods by Air - Full Course
Dangerous Goods by Air - Revalidation
It is a requirement by law that comprehensive and approved training must be given to all staff involved in the packaging, documentation or handling of dangerous goods.
The regulations covering the transportation of dangerous goods by air are issued by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) publish an annual Dangerous Goods Manual which is recognised as the industry standard and is used on the course.
All students who pass the examinations are registered as internationally approved to sign for dangerous goods consignments.
It is also a requirement of law that revalidation training be carried out every 24 months.
Cargo Training International trainers are approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
The full course will enable students to:
- Apply the information given in the ICAO and IATA regulations to dangerous goods shipments
- Check that packing, marking and labelling meet ICAO/IATA standards
- Interpret dangerous goods lists
- Recognise prohibited items
- Understand packing instructions
- Recognise marking and labelling
- Understand the shipper's and the carrier's responsibilities
- Complete dangerous goods documentation
On completion of this course - which includes a written examination - candidates will receive a certificate endorsed by the UK CAA. All certificate holders are registered with the Approval Authority.
Revalidation
The revalidation course will enable students to:
- Check knowledge of the regulations
- Update on amendments and new rules
- Refresh their previous knowledge
Please note that the revalidation programme is only suitable to those who hold the full dangerous goods certificate. This is a very fast paced course and we recommend the 3 day programme for those who do not use the IATA DG regulations on a regular basis or passed with under 85% on their previous exam.
On completion of this course - which includes a written examination - candidates will receive a certificate endorsed by the UK CAA. All certificate holders are registered with the Approval Authority.
Note on air examination: There are 4 examination papers that are offered at the end of our standard dangerous goods by air course; shipment, acceptance, dual and Freight Forwarders/Cargo Agents papers. It is down to the employer to determine the correct examination paper that the delegates must take based on their job function. Please advise us on booking which exam paper is required.
