Shipping Lithium Batteries By Air

Shipping lithium batteries by air is extremely common, yet it is a complicated process guided by ever- changing regulations. IATA / ICAO requires that any person accepting or offering cells or batteries for transport must receive adequate instructions on these regulations commensurate with their responsibilities. This short online course is an ideal complement to the Air DG category 6 training, or as a standalone course for anyone who occasionally ships “Section II” lithium batteries. This course is delivered entirely online and starts at anytime.
