Frequently Asked Questions

What is my employers responsibility in training?
Your employer must ensure that course material is completed by you alone, and assessments (exam) are completed ethically and without assistance.  Any additional specific training not covered in this course but commensurate with your position should be provided by your employer.  Your employer will need to sign the certificate of completion as per Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations.  Please review an employee and employers' responsibilities here.   Also, within each of the Air DG courses (Initial, virtual etc), there is still reference to the pandemic and covid.  This will need to be edited.  We will also need to review all FAQ for accuracy, please place all FAQ questions and answers for DG into one word document and I can add and edit to these items.
I do not have a copy of the IMDG Code, can I still complete the course?
No. You will require a copy of the IMDG Code to complete the course. Please ensure you have made arrangements to access the book from your employer BEFORE registering for the course.

No, we do not sell the IMDG code, but if you email us we can direct you to groups that do.
