International law requires that all staff involved in the shipping, packing, documentation, handling, or carriage of Dangerous Goods by Air must complete a comprehensive training course approved by the appropriate national competent authority. In the United Kingdom this is the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under the Air Navigation Order (Dangerous Goods Regulations).

Our Dangerous Goods by Air Courses are fully approved by the CAA for Shippers, Packers and Freight Agents. Our instructors have vast experience in both the commercial and practical issues involved in the movement of Dangerous Goods by Air. They hold the required approvals from the CAA covering subject knowledge, course design, and presentation skills. Dangerous Goods by Air courses are based on the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations.
