To obtain your IATA dangerous goods certificate, you must:
- Complete the selected online course
- Successfully pass the final assessment
Upon successful completion of the course, a WiseTech Academy certificate will be issued. This is a temporary certificate, until the IATA CBTA digital certificate is issued, which may take up to fourteen (14) working days.
Initial training
Initial IATA dangerous goods (DG) certificates are valid for 24 months from the date of successful course completion. To remain compliant, you must complete recurrent (refresher) training before your current certification expires, and with enough time to obtain recertification.
Recurrent (refresher) training
Recurrent training must be completed within the twenty-four (24) month validity period. The new expiry date is calculated according to when the recurrent training is completed:
- Training is completed within the final 3 months before DG certification expires - the new certificate validity is extended for 24 months from the existing expiry date. This means you do not lose any remaining validity by renewing early.
- Training is completed more than 3 months before DG certification expires; the new certificate validity starts from the date the recurrent training is completed.
If your Initial or Recurrent training was previously completed through WiseTech Academy, an automatic reminder will be sent to you when it is due to be renewed.
