Freight forwarders sit at the centre of the dangerous goods supply chain. They receive consignments from shippers, verify documentation, and hand shipments over to airlines. A freight forwarder who accepts a non-compliant dangerous goods consignment is legally responsible for it — and the consequences of getting it wrong can include rejected shipments, regulatory action, and safety incidents.
Our freight forwarder training courses cover the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations as they apply to Category 5 personnel — those who process or accept dangerous goods consignments. Training includes:
– Verifying that the shipper has correctly classified, packed, marked, and labelled the consignment
– Checking the Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods for completeness and accuracy
– Understanding segregation requirements and airline-specific variations
– Recognising hidden dangerous goods in general cargo
– Applying the acceptance checklist as required by IATA DGR
All courses are CAA approved and delivered online. Learners can study at their own pace and take the examination remotely.
To celebrate being awarded the IATA Competency Training & Assessment Centre accreditation, we are offering a 10% discount off all our dangerous goods by air training courses.
