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).

Very instructive

Because there were only 3 of us in the class with Jan being a great and competent teacher I learned a lot, also because the other two gentlemen came from totally different companies that I do myself. We had all the time and space to hear each other's situations to which Jan very nicely gave additional answers how to deal with certain situations and what the legislation says about them.

Challenging

I found the course challenging but good. A little fast if you are not doing dangerous goods shipments on a daily basis.
