Dangerous Goods by Air

Dangerous Goods by Air

We have developed a training program that meets the mandatory requirements of ICAO Annex 18 and the UK Air Navigation Order. On completion of our course successful candidates will be able to use, interpret and implement all of the requirements of the "ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air" and the "IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations".

In the first instance delegates must attended the Initial 3 day course. This concludes with a written examination which entitles successful candidates to a certificate of competence that is valid for two years. Before the certificate expires they must attend a revalidation (2 day) course. If this period is exceeded, delegates must re-attend the full 3 day course or stop sending Dangerous Goods.

These courses are fully approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, Approval Number 019568.
