Good to know

The training method IATA CBTA (competency-based training and assessment) has the following premise. The safe and efficient transportation of dangerous goods by air depends on competent personnel. This means that employees must be trained in the functions for which they are responsible - regardless of whether it is stated in the job description. This is best achieved through competency-based training and assessment (CBTA).

Clear and good

Good teacher with a lot of knowledge and good examples. Goes through the material in a nice and structured way. The questions in the course powerpoint are a good way to apply the material just learned as well. The course itself was highly recommended. The online exam trainer is less so. I myself saw, from what I suspect, 3-4 errors in the questions. These were shared with the teacher. Furthermore, I miss the option on per chapter questions. So that after a class day, if you want to practice more of a specific topic. the ability to do so online. That way, you also get used to the question quickly. So I would like to see the option to take practice questions by chapter and the option to take a practice exam, of the entire book.

Perfect

Only possible tip : try putting KC people together in 1 class and possibly RA people as well. So now I was the only one in the class as KC and had actual questions. Possibly then you can also fill the days in such a way that people from KC for their situation can have more depth. But again, consider it a possible tip, training was otherwise perfect.
