Frequently Asked Questions about TDG’s IATA Training CBT (call 800-949-4834 for more details)

Question: Is your program FAA or IATA Approved?

Answer: Neither the FAA nor IATA review or evaluate computer based training programs. The FAA (and US DOT) will not evaluate any type of training program for shippers, forwarders or truckers in advance.

Question: So, will this program meet my legal training requirements to the FAA and the US DOT?

Answer: Yes, it can. This Computer Based Training (CBT) is not any different than any other training program in that you, as the hazmat employer are responsible for the correct training. (Citation: 49 CFR Part 172.702). This program has been used every year for five years now to train hundreds of people. This program has been used to meet training requirements imposed by the FAA as a result of penalty actions against shippers, and the certificate we issue along with the training records have been accepted by them.

Question: What about CNS – if I’m an IATA/CNS cargo agent, can I use this program?

Answer: The Cargo Agency Agreements that we have seen state that an endorsed agent must get “appropriate” training and be in compliance with the FAA regulations. This training program can be used to meet your FAA training requirements, and therefore could be considered appropriate training.

However, we are NOT stating that this program is CNS approved either – neither Cargo Network Services, nor IATA have an endorsement scheme for computer based training for Cargo Acceptance Staff at the present time. Plus, there's the issue about Radioactive Training which this CBT/Download does not provide if you need radioactive training you should take a classroom course.

Question: How many people can I train at the same time?

Answer: With the online training, you can have hundreds or thousands train at the exact same time. If you are using the CBT version of the training only one user may be logged on at a time. IF you need to train many people at the exact same time you should take the online training or buy additional copies of the CBT. If you buy more than 1 copy of the CBT from us at the same time we will provide a 25% discount to you on additional copies.

Question: What about DOT Security Training? Isn't that required to be "certified"

Answer: Yes. US DOT has an additional security training requirement that is not included in IATA training. That training is included with your IATA training we provide you.

Question: So, other than Radioactive, will this training program teach me to ship any type of hazardous material?

Answer: Yes. This program will teach you to use the IATA regulations so that you may be knowledgeable and competent in determining a shipments' acceptability for transport. We recommend to clients that if they are shipping Class 7 Radioactive Materials that they seek additional training. We can provide that training in the form of customized in-house seminars.

Question: Do I need to have a copy of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations to use with the CBT?

Answer: Absolutely, you must have a current copy of the IATA DGR to use with the program, you should also have a highlighter so that you can highlight important sections as you go through the regulations.

Question: Is this training better than attending a classroom seminar?

Answer: It is different and has certain advantages over classroom training, and in some cases classroom training may hold an advantage -- it's a matter of preference and an individuals' learning style. Obviously, in a classroom you can raise your hand and ask the teacher a question! (We do provide free hazmat training support by calling 1-800-949-4834).

Question: How much does the program cost?

Answer: The 2011 CD program (download in CA) is $995 dollars plus $35.00 per certificate.

Question: If I have several offices, will I need to buy more than one CD/Download?

Answer: Well, you could buy extra CD’s or send the one CD from office-to-office to complete the training. It is copy-protected and may not be copied.

We will give you a 25% discount on any additional CD/Download’s you buy after the first one!
