Increasingly, customers are finding it necessary to be dangerous goods qualified in the three principle modes of transport – air, sea and road. It has in the past been necessary to attend each full course. This 5 day course comprises of 3 days Dangerous Goods by Air, 1 day by Road and 1 day by Sea. The course is offered at a discounted rate to the individual courses and only available to students booking all 5 days. Whilst this course is targeted primarily at students who have received no previous dangerous goods training, the course is open to anyone, and can be used as refresher training in all three modes.

Price On Application
AIR (IATA) – Legislation requires that all staff involved in the packing, documentation or handling of dangerous goods by air complete a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved training course. This requirement is met by attending a Dangerous Goods by Air Certificate course. Your certificate must then be revalidated at intervals of no longer than 2 years by completing a refresher course and successfully passing the CAA exam.
SEA (IMDG) – The regulations require that all shore based staff involved with the transport of dangerous goods by sea receive training. This includes those who prepare documentation, classify, pack, mark, label and prepare shipments of dangerous goods.
ROAD (ADR) – Training is required for all staff who may classify, pack, mark, or label dangerous goods which will be consigned by road.
The IATA Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations are very clear that all staff involved with shipping Dangerous Goods: Shippers & Packers, Freight Forwarders, Aircraft Operators & Ground Handlers and Security Screeners, must have an appropriate level of training as identified in Table 1.5.A of the Regulations.

Refresher Training :
Both regulations also require that those already trained ‘Must be periodically supplemented with refresher training to take account of changes in the regulations'. Although there is no laid down time scale for this training, the manuals are reissued every two years, so in order to keep abreast of changes to the regulations as required by the ‘competent authority’, we would strongly advise that refresher training should take place at an interval no greater than 2 years.
Notes:
Students requiring only a DG by Road Certificate should not attend this course but book on a full 2-day DG by Road course. Similarly, students requiring only a DG by Sea Certificate should attend a full 2- day DG by Sea course.
