✈ Confirm the training provider delivers courses aligned with the correct ICAO or IATA competency category for your operational role, as incorrect category training can leave operators non-compliant during audits or inspections.

✈ Check whether the course includes both initial and recurrent dangerous goods training options, particularly if you manage staff certification validity and ongoing regulatory compliance across multiple departments.

✈ Ask whether the training provider issues recognised certificates immediately after course completion, as delayed certification can impact crew rostering, cargo acceptance and operational approvals.

✈ Review whether the course content reflects the latest IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations edition and current CAA or EASA requirements before booking staff onto any programme.

✈ Consider online or virtual dangerous goods training for geographically dispersed teams, though practical operational roles may still benefit from instructor-led classroom sessions and scenario-based learning.

✈ Verify if the provider offers role-specific dangerous goods training for cargo, passenger handling, dispatch, load control or cabin crew personnel rather than generic awareness-only courses.

✈ Ensure recurrent training deadlines are monitored carefully, as expired dangerous goods qualifications can prevent personnel from carrying out regulated aviation duties legally.

✈ Check whether the provider can deliver in-company dangerous goods training at your facility if you require operationally tailored instruction for larger aviation teams or multi-station operations.
