IATA Dangerous Goods

Our IATA Dangerous Goods training course has been designed with specific exercises related to the transportation of dangerous goods by air from a shippers perspective. This course covers the fundamentals of shipping dangerous goods by air according to the IATA regulations. Our 10 step approach encompasses all of the activities which must be addressed when preparing a dangerous goods for shipment by air. This course has been updated to include recent changes to the regulations, using the 54th Edition (2013) of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

The course is designed to help employers meet the requirements for training as specified in Section 1.5 of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and 49 CFR 172 Subpart H, including testing of participants. This course does not cover the more detailed requirements for the shipment of radioactive materials under the IATA regulations.

In order to follow along with the examples and exercises presented in the course, you must have access to a copy of the IATA Dangerous Goods regulations. If you are in need of an up-to-date version of the regulations, you can select to include the price of the book in your registration fee or call us at (919) 246-4847 to order a copy separately.

Attention Medical Personnel
Many of our medical clients (clinics, hospitals, clinical trials, labs, doctor offices, etc.) find that our Shipping Infectious Substances course is better suited for their needs. If you only ship infectious substances and diagnostic specimens, we suggest you take a look at Shipping Infectious Substances before making your decision.

"The "hands-on" approach with looking up material in the Dangerous Goods Handbook, exercises to complete in the modules prior to taking the exams, visual pictures/notations etc.--not a "static" on-line course, but very interactive." - Dale P. (Consulting)

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Are your courses "approved" by IATA or the FAA?

No. To our knowledge, neither the FAA nor IATA reviews or evaluates online training courses (and neither does the US DOT). In fact, the FAA will not evaluate any training courses of any kind from any provider (this includes online, classroom, computer-based, etc). IATA does, however, offer a designation called the IATA Endorsed Training School, and these endorsed training schools often advertise their courses as "IATA Approved". We are not an IATA Endorsed Training School. In order to be an endorsed school, the course must be three days long and include training on radioactive materials. Our courses do not cover radioactive materials. According to the IATA website:

"IATA's endorsed training school program is [sic] scheme whereby training schools submit their course material to IATA for review... There is no requirement that training be obtained from an Endorsed School."

We find it interesting that they choose the term "scheme" to refer to their program.

Will taking this course meet my legal training requirements to the FAA and DOT?

Yes it can, but making that determination is up to you, the employer. That's not always the answer people would like to hear, but it's based on the regulations. 49 CFR Part 172.702 requires that employers ensure their employees are "trained in accordance with the requirements prescribed in this subpart."
