Further instructions will be provided in advance of the examination.
The examination is regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. The time permitted is three hours.
We give you access to the online training for 12 weeks from the date of purchase. If you are struggling to complete the training modules in this time frame, additional access can be purchased on our website at the following link.
There is no limit on the number of times you can work through the modules. We recommend you score at least 80% at the end of each to ensure you are maximising the possibility of passing the examination.
Once you have completed the training successfully, we will contact you via email with examination date availability.
Yes, you may. Remember the examination is not a test of memory, it is to ensure you can navigate your way through the IATA DGR competently.
Assuming you have referenced the PDF workbook, your next port of call is to contact one of our experienced trainers at info@dgonline.training or call 0800 644 6799.
The training is suitable for students without any previous experience. There are a number of exercises to complete as you go through the training which help to prepare you for the examination. After completing each section of the course, you are provided with a grade. We recommend you retake the section if you do not achieve a score of 80% or more, as this is the minimum grade required to pass the final examination. There is no limit to the number of times you retake each section.
If you are revalidating your current certificate, we will request to see a copy of this before the course is allocated to you.
Once the paper has been returned via our courier service, the exam paper is marked. If you successfully achieve a grade of 80% or more, a certificate, showing our training is approved by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, will be awarded. Electronic feedback will be given to all candidates showing areas of development and strength.
The primary focus of the training is to teach students how to navigate the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. A copy is also required to complete the examination. If you do not own a copy of the current edition of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, we can either sell you a copy at the current market rate or we offer a rental option. For the rental option, we generally take a deposit for the full price of the regulations. This will be refunded after the book is returned minus a weekly hire fee. The current rate is £10.00 per week. The rental fee helps us to offset the cost of the books and to keep the price of the training as low as possible.
The course is managed with a series of modules, with a number of exercises at the end of each one. We recommend that you score at least 80% on the exercises before you move on. There is no limit on the number of times you work through the modules.
Check the following:
Once you have successfully completed all the modules, with a score of at least 80% in each, we will email you with a series of dates that are available for your remotely invigilated 1:1 examination. If you wish to attend a more bespoke examination centre, please contact us to make arrangements and discuss the additional costings for this.
An IATA DGR (either your own or one that you have rented from us), photo ID in the form of either a driving licence or passport. We will provide you with a calculator and pen. The examination is considered ‘open book’ and therefore the candidates should have unrestricted access to the required IATA DGR.
Depending on how much experience you have depends on the length of time to successfully complete the course. We recommend that you work on the training little and often such as 3- 4 hours per day. You can retake the modules as many times as you would like to ensure you have a deep level understanding of what is required. You will have access to the online training for 12 weeks.
Please contact one of our experienced trainers on info@dgonline.training or call 0800 644 6799 to arrange a 30 minute training session.
Please refer to the PDF workbook that is downloadable at the beginning of the training. We will also send you a practice examination booklet once the training has been completed.
Yes, but please note that there is a cancellation fee of £75.00+VAT which will be payable if an examination is cancelled within a defined period of 5 working days.
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.
Dan Lee –
Welcome to the future of DG by Air learning! Well done to the DG Online Training team for producing a simple and effective method of delivery and learning that sees instant access to the programme performed at your own pace with the full range of back-up and supporting resources to assist your learning and confirming your application of the key learning points of IATA DG by Air. I fully recommended any DG professional to use this route to re-qualify or to get back into the land of IATA DG. For those who are new to the world of Dangerous Goods shipments you should make full use of the instructor on-line assistant facility and the accompanying course manual. You can rewind and do the modules as many times within the generous time window of completion to assist you with attaining full comprehension of the subject. IATA DG by air training has become fun, relevant and ground-breaking – once more.

A comprehensive and well constructed course that proved challenging but ultimately very educational and interesting. It has certainly made me give greater thought when I fly to my declaration about what goods I may carry on board with me and my responsibilities to the aircrew and my fellow passengers. It has certainly given me greater confidence when handling dangerous goods of which I am doing in increasing volumes/quantities. – Thank you
Becky –
Highly recommended! I took both the Air (Cat 1,2,3) and Road courses. Both were great quality content. The modules were very well structured and educational. There is so much to learn but it is broken down really well. The whole process was fantastic, especially being online, I was worried about taking the info in, but there was no need to worry at all, and both Lisa and Paul are so helpful and supportive. I will be back for more

Thanks for the positve feedback Becky and we’re really pleased you passed the exam! We look forward to working with you again in the future. Paul.
Jim Harman –
Really well structured and informative course, quick bitesize modules, allowing you to either whizz through, or stop and repeat where required, nice quick quizzes in each module, to allow you to instantly apply the information. So great to be able to learn, and take the exam away from busy office hours.
Adam –
Very flexible allowing you to fit around a busy work schedule. I would highly recommend.
Jonathan / Freightair –
Excellent online course, very user friendly and easy to digest the information. Recommed the the online route if you want to fit in around a busy schedule as you can pause and go back to the modules whenever you find the right time. Also the option to do the exam at home/office is very convenient. Thanks for the great service.
