A range of training courses covering dangerous goods transportation by air, road and sea are available in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Specialist cargo loading and restraint courses can also be scheduled in those centres. These courses will be conducted in our modern environment by experienced trainers with extensive industry knowledge. A feature of the training is that it will apply a unique, hands-on, practical approach using the full resources of the DGM organisation.

In addition to our published schedule Dangerous Goods Training Services can also offer all our training courses on an in-house basis, designed to meet your needs.
