The 3-Day Recurrent course is for Shippers who prepare dangerous goods shipments for ground air, and ocean transit using the 49CFR, IATA and IMDG regulations, and who have had 49CFR and IMDG training within the previous 3 years and IATA training within the previous 24 months. Topics covered include a review of the 3-Day initial classes for 49CFR,IATA, and IMDG with an emphasis on updates and changes.
