IATA Dangerous Goods Training Guidance - 6.1.6.2 - Dangerous goods initial and recurrent training are required by the regulations:
- Initial training must be provided prior to a person performing their functions related to the transport of cargo or managing passenger and baggage. Effectively and unless otherwise required by the national authorities, it refers to the first time a trainee receives dangerous goods instructions according to their function or a new function if gaps have been identified.
- Recurrent training must be provided within 24 months of previous training to ensure knowledge is current. However, if recurrent training is completed within the final three (3) months of validity of previous training, the period of validity extends from the month on which the recurrent training was completed until 24 months from the expiry month of that previous training.
