Whats an IATA Accredited Training School? Do I have to take some training in order to ship dangerous goods by air?
IATA’s accredited training school program is scheme whereby training schools submit their course material to IATA for review. A team of airline training experts review the material and determine whether the course meets the minimum standards necessary to become an IATA Accredited School. This establishes a minimum worldwide standard for dangerous goods training. Note however, that some countries have higher standards for training and may require training schools to be approved by the national government. There is no requirement that training be obtained from an Accredited School, however, such a school can be expected to deliver good quality training.
