The IATA Dangerous Goods training has transitioned from traditional learning methods to Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) in alignment with ICAO standards. The 64th edition of the Dangerous Goods Regulations provides guidance on CBTA, as endorsed by the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel during DGP/27 (September 2019), and aligns with the roles outlined in IATA’s Dangerous Goods Training Guidance.
