To be compliant in shipping and accepting dangerous goods by air, there are training requirements that commensurate with your position as a freight forwarder, shipper or operator to comply with IATA, ICAO and Transport Canada TDG regulations. CIFFA offers a variety of training options for your needs.
CIFFA offers initial training for those who have never shipped dangerous goods by air, as well as recurrent training for those who require recertification every 24 months. The International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations and International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) technical instructions are the principal resources for this course. These courses are designed from the freight forwarder's perspective, but can be taken by shippers and operators resulting in a category 6 certification.
