Dangerous Goods by Air (IATA) Course
In progress
This is a CAA approved 3-day training course and open book examination, covering the requirements of the IATA Dangerous Goods by Air Regulations. Someone possessing this qualification will be an asset to their department as carriers ask for more assurances about the packaging and labelling of cargoes. Note: Each participant will need to bring an up to date IATA manual (changes annually) for this course. A few copies will be available on loan but others will have to purchase or borrow one independently. There will be a 0930 start on the first day but subsequent start, finish and break times will be a matter of negotiation with the trainer. There is unlikely to be another full IATA course organised centrally until 2025. |
