The International Air Cargo Association TIACA’s Post

Here is a great opportunity to take a course on an emerging topic. Understanding the subtle differences between PLACI regimes will help organizations minimize errors.

Introducing IATA's Dangerous Goods Training Guidance, Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA), Edition 1, 2023. ⚡To ensure safety and compliance in the handling of Dangerous Goods, IATA DG training has evolved from traditional learning to CBTA. IATA's Dangerous Goods Training Guidance, Edition 1 was published in 2023, providing a comprehensive framework for implementing CBTA for all teams. Key benefits of CBTA: ✅ Tailored training: Focus on specific functions and responsibilities, ensuring employees acquire the exact skills they need. ✅ Enhanced efficiency: Streamline training processes and reduce costs by focusing on demonstrated proficiency. ✅ Improved safety: To equip the workforce with the knowledge and skills to handle dangerous goods safely and effectively. What's new? 1. According to the agreement by ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel in DGP/27 (2019) and IATA's "Dangerous Goods Training Guidance", the old staff categories (CATs) has been translated by IATA into the new activity categories (CAs) based on Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBTA). 2. IATA DG CBTA is in full alignment with IATA DGR, subsection 1.5. ⚠️ All aviation entities are to consider IATA DG CBTA in their training activities. https://lnkd.in/dXpc4ssQ #IATA #DangerousGoods #CBTA #AviationSafety #TrainingAndDevelopment #NewGuidance #IATADGR

IATA Competency-Based Training for Dangerous Goods By Air Freight forwarders (IATA Cargo Agents) seeking IATA accreditation should be aware of recent changes to dangerous goods training requirements. In addition to the Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) framework, formal dangerous goods acceptance training is now also mandatory (IATA Edition 25 Function 7.3). Therefore, even where freight forwarders do not physically handle cargo, are required by IATA member airlines to have two employees certified in dangerous goods acceptance. Forwarders must make the cargo "ready for carriage", which includes for dangerous goods consignments, completion of the dangerous goods acceptance check. (IATA Resolution 805zz).  Places are booking out, on our upcoming Dangerous Goods By Air IATA (Initial & Recurrent) course, which is scheduled for 12, 13, 14 Feb 2024 !  Secure your place now to avail of comprehensive training programme !   https://lnkd.in/eixUJjGZ  #IATA #AirCargo #DangerousGoods #Training #FreightForwarder #CBTA #HybridTraining #iatatraining #training #aviation #career #traininglife #aviationlife #aviationtraining #careerchange #aviation #academy #training #teaching #aviationindustry #iatatrainingcenter #iata #AviationLogistics #IATAManuals #DGBooks #SafetyFirst #Efficiency #Compliance #GlobalRecognition #RiskManagement #SmoothFlights #TrustedCompanions #DG

Why take an Air Refresher course? If you already hold a current Dangerous Goods by Air certificate you are already familiar with the IATA regulations and have good knowledge of handling and working with Dangerous Goods. A revalidation course will provide the same IATA / CAA Dangerous Goods by Air Certification certificate. The ICAO regulations governing the UK carriage of dangerous goods (and IATA manual) specify refresher training must take place every two years. The refresher courses are shorter than our full Air course and can be completed in 4 half day sessions. Our Dangerous Goods Air revalidation courses takes place monthly as a virtual class. These live online classes are led by a qualified instructor and have the same content as our in-person classes. Take a look at our course schedule for upcoming course dates. #DangerousGoodsTraining #IATACertificate #AirExporting #IATA

Clearance of dangerous goods, and even air lifting of non-dangerous goods, is in trouble due to issues related to Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) model effective April 1, 2024. There seems to be a significant lack of accessible training programmes pertinent to dangerous goods (DG) in India and no training institute has been “re-certified” by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This will affect IATA certified freight forwarders, said sources in the air cargo industry. It is learnt that Air Cargo Agents Association of India has written to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) stating that its members across India had been trained hitherto through the DGCA approved training institutes. However, consequent to the implementation of the CBTA from April 1, 2024, the DGCA approval of DG Training Programme has reportedly not been renewed after it expired on March 31, 2024. The CBTA is a training approach for dangerous goods by air transportation. The association also urged the DGCA to consider a general extension of all DG certificates for a suitable period until a certain number of existing training institutes (80 per cent) are certified.

In 2023, the International Air Transport Association introduced regulations for handling dangerous goods. Implementation of ICAO’s new regulations related to CBTA leaves cargo companies confused amid DGCA certification freeze. Under the new rules, shippers have to fill out a declaration with every granular detail about their goods. They can no longer depend on third-party agents for their dangerous goods. Although regulations were introduced in 2023, India wasn’t ready and requested an extension until August 31, 2023. That got pushed to April 1, 2024 so training academies could catch up. Spoiler alert: they haven’t. On the other hand, the DGCA has pressed a pause button on the new and renewal of DG certificates. Why? Read the story below to know the reasons and its impact on the industry. Yogesh Bhandari Balasubramanian P.
