IATA Dangerous Goods
Our IATA Category 1 Dangerous Goods training course has been designed with specific exercises related to the transportation of dangerous goods by air from a shipper's perspective. This IATA training 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 dangerous goods for shipment by air. This course has been updated to include recent changes to the regulations, using the 65th Edition (2024) of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

This dangerous goods certification course is designed to help employers meet the requirements for IATA 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.
