49CFR IATA Recurrent Syllabus

The 2-Day Recurrent course is for Shippers who prepare dangerous goods shipments for ground and air transit using the 49CFR and IATA regulations, and who have had 49CFR 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 and IATA, with an emphasis on updates and changes.

Note if you ship Explosives or Radioactive Materials:

  • Explosives: This course fulfills the requirements for anyone shipping explosives, div. 1.4 already classified with a UN#. Other class 1 explosives including 1.4 unclassified, additional training is required. Please see our explosives course.
  • Radioactive Materials: This course also fulfills the requirements for shipping radioactive exempted items, for example smoke alarms. For anything else additional training is required. Please see our radioactive courses.

Security Awareness Training is no longer conducted in the classroom. We are now offering it for FREE on our website.
