Function Specific Training - Ultimately (in the United States) your employer has final responsibility for determining if a hazmat employee is properly trained for their particular job function. Since there is a potential for limitless types of job functions as determined by an individual employer, we as your training provider can only suggest what types of additional training might be required. If you ship Radioactive or Explosives, additional training may be required.

- This 12 to 18 hour IATA course is intended for shippers and forwarders and foreign (non-US) airlines. It offers only basic coverage of so-called “Cat 6” topics. The FAA does not use the term “Cat 6”, instead they require adherence to Part 175 of 49 CFR from which no carrier is excepted. This IATA training module includes our module 9 which offers a basic introduction to Part 175 topics and USG-13 in IATA/ICAO (about 60 to 90 mins). For people who are employed by 121/135 certificated carriers or their ground handlers and are subject to 14 CFR training requirements (http://bit.ly/tdgecfr14) found in Appendix O, you should take our full airline training program (~40 hours) after evaluating its’ suitability for your particular FAA certified Ops Specs, or you can take our special Airline Upgrade module for people who’ve taken our classroom or online IATA course (~3-4 hours of additional training)”.
