CIFFA offers initial training for those who have never shipped dangerous goods by air, as well as recurrent training for those who require recertification every 24 months. The International Air Transport Association's (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations and International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) technical instructions are the principal resources for this course. CIFFA is an IATA Authorized Training School for classroom delivery, and a FIATA/ICAO authorized training school for both classroom and online delivery. These courses are designed from the freight forwarder's perspective, but can be taken by shippers and operators resulting in a category 6 certification.
