CAA approved two-day revalidation course

Renew your dangerous goods by air qualification and update your knowledge of the current IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

This two-day, UK Civil Aviation Authority approved course is designed for experienced personnel who hold a current Dangerous Goods by Air certificate. It reviews regulatory changes, reinforces the core skills required for your job function and concludes with the approved examination.

·      Open-courses (Southampton): £445 + VAT, per person.

·      In-house training: from 1000.00 + VAT. Contact us for a quotation, it’s usually far more economical if you have several trainees to revalidate, and it’s to your timetable.

Who should attend

This course is suitable for personnel who hold a current Dangerous Goods by Air qualification (you don’t have to have originally trained with us) and remain familiar with the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

Depending on their responsibilities, delegates may include:

• Shippers and consignors

• Packers

• Freight forwarders and cargo agents

• Staff responsible for preparing, checking or handling dangerous goods consignments

Training is matched to the delegate's job function and the dangerous goods tasks they perform.

Revalidation requirements

Delegates must provide evidence of a current Dangerous Goods by Air certificate before attending.

The revalidation course assumes that delegates already have a sound working knowledge of the regulations. If your certificate has expired, or you do not use the regulations regularly and are no longer confident applying them, the three-day initial course may be more appropriate.

Please contact us if you are unsure which course you require.
