IATA Training Courses for Companies and Individuals
When shipping dangerous goods via air, your entire team must follow standardized travel regulations. Dangerous goods include anything that could be hazardous to public, property or environmental health. These items have nine designation classes, including anything from explosives to toxic substances. Emergency awareness training is essential to keep your team, cargo and community safe.
Our four-hour dangerous goods shipping course teaches the fundamentals of air shipments of dangerous goods according to International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations. This course is self-paced, so you can complete the course at your leisure and in as many sessions as you need over a period of 60 days. This course serves as both your initial and refresher training. It will include any changes to the regulations, using the 67th Edition (2026) of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR).
Upon completion of this course, you will immediately receive your IATA hazardous material shipping certification, which will remain active for two years. This IATA certification gives you the ability to ship by air internationally via FedEx, UPS and other carriers. Whether you plan on shipping IATA hazardous materials or dangerous goods domestically or internally, our in-depth IATA training course can help you get your IATA certification quickly.
Who Creates the IATA Training for Hazardous Materials and Dangerous Goods?
The DGR 1.5 regulations this training is based on come from the IATA — an international group of airlines organized for the safety, reliability and security of economical air travel. The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations incorporate the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) technical instructions into the IATA manual and add requirements that are more restrictive.
Your training certification must come from IATA standards to comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Most air carriers cannot accept shipments of dangerous goods that do not comply with these restrictions, so shippers must follow the IATA rules. You can ship confidently according to IATA’s guidelines, which are updated every year for quality assurance.
How Does Our IATA Online Training Course Work?
Our IATA online dangerous goods training course is designed to take four to five hours to complete. Once you have registered for the course, you can complete the training online at your own leisure. You can come and go as necessary, so you can complete the course in as many sessions as you like. If questions arise while you’re working on your course, you can get assistance from an online instructor at any time.
You’ll have 60 days to finish the course and pass the exam at the end — after this time has passed, you’ll need to renew the subscription. This amount of time is more than enough for most people to confidently receive their certification. Once you complete the course and pass your exam, you’ll receive your IATA shipping certification immediately, so you can get to work sooner.
Please note that you’ll need to have DOT certification before starting this course. If you aren’t sure which training course you need, feel free to contact us for individual guidance.
Custom IATA Courses to Personalize Your Team’s Training?
Are you seeking a more customized international (IMDG or TDGR) online training experience? The experts at Safety Compliance Management can create tailored training sessions that address subjects such as Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR), International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) and IATA shipping training requirements based on your products. IATA and IMDG codes dictate the hazardous material training requirements dangerous goods shippers must meet.
For our custom IATA training courses, we only charge for the time our team spends developing and delivering the coursework and materials at your location, on-site with us or over webinar. There is no limit to the number of employees that can participate in the IATA online training session.
Each participant will earn a certificate for hazardous material shipping when they’ve completed the course. Basic DOT Hazmat training is the only prerequisite to the customized webinar or on-site training session — the basic training gives your team an overview of general shipping requirements and hazardous materials.
Hazmat School is looking forward to helping you achieve international hazardous material training. The training is tailored to fit your requirements, using your Safety Data Sheets as guidance.
Who Requires IATA Training Courses?
The U.S. DOT requires that every hazmat employee receives the proper training regardless of how hazardous materials are prepared for transportation. Shippers must follow IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations if part or all of the shipment is shipped via air. IATA training courses are required for all employees involved in dangerous goods transportation according to IATA DGR 1.5.
All aircraft operator employees and anyone involved in air shipments for hazardous materials are required to receive an IATA shipping certification. This certification must be achieved before dangerous goods are transported by airplane. As a result, anyone involved in the air transport of dangerous goods — including shippers, ground service providers, freight forwarders and airline workers — must receive some dangerous goods shipping training. Training is especially important because breaking IATA requirements may result in heavy fines and citations for the carrier involved.
Most airlines will require parties to comply with IATA regulations before they accept any shipment of dangerous goods. Therefore, if you or your company ships hazardous materials by air for any reason, domestically or internationally, you may need an IATA shipping certification.
- Do you package or ship dangerous goods or hazardous materials for international transport by air?
- Have you learned domestic requirements by completing basic DOT Hazmat shipping courses?
