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.
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.
Marta –
Very good training, lots of detailed information and working with the online training materials means I could do it in my own time. I recommend this format of training, it works well.
paul –
Thanks Marta! It has been a pleasure working with you. Kind regards, Paul.
Roxanne –
A thorough course, with all necessary themes covered. It’s easy to follow. In comparison to the in-person few days course with a lecturer – here you can pause, rewind and go through sections which are harder in your own pace and as many times as you need. I actually got a better result with this, studying at home on my own than with a in-person 3-day course in Heathrow. I sat 3 DG shipper exams by now.
paul –
Thanks for the great feedback Roxanne! We look forward to welcoming you back for your next revalidation training.
Nicola Kaye –
A flexible way to re-validate my training around my other work commitments, meaning I didn’t need to take 3 days away from the office. The course is well structured, and being able to pause and re-play the videos allows you to double-check anything covered on the course quickly.
Having held the IATA previously, as well as being a DGSA for ADR purposes, this flexibility is ideal, especially if you need a more extended break to properly read and understand topics in more detail than you generally get at in-person courses, where you have to go at the trainer’s pace.
Definitely recommend
Simon Otter –
Excellent course and service
Diane –
I found doing the online course a lot better than having to actually sit in a hotel because you can take your time with the modules and make sure that you have covered everything ready for the actual exam. I hope that this will continue in the future.
Susan Cartman –
Extremely thorough training course. After over 30 years of attending classroom-based training, and my attention span on computer-based training quite short! once I got my head focused on the online training, I found it a pleasure, with no interruptions during, unlike the classroom-based course, along with being able to do the training at your own pace. Extremely well put together, and Lisa provided full information prior to training commencing, along taking the examination.
Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to switch from classroom-based training to online. Thank you both very much.
paul –
Thanks so much Susan for your kind words! It was a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to seeing you again in 2024.

I have done 3 exams with DGOnline (all pass). I particularly like the traning materias where you go through difficult parts again once you have completed the course and you can study when you have time. It’s very flexible. The exam availablity is great. You can sit it at home or in the office. You know the results next day after you post your paper.
paul –
Many thanks for the positive feedback and well done for an excellent score in the examination!
