IATA Dangerous Goods Initial Course and IATA Dangerous Goods Recurrent Course
Becoming an authorized independent organisation to deliver training in the field of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations is no easy feat. To be authorized an organisation must be a member of the IATA Accredited Training School Network and also a New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) approved Part 141 Airline Training Organisation.
DGM is approved by the required authorities (IATA and CAA) to provide IATA training to our clients. We offer both the five day initial course and three day recurrent training for those needing to revalidate certification. Our approval by IATA and CAA, and yearly auditing by IATA, ensures our clients are receiving the best possible training for what can be a very complex area of freight movement.
