The transport of dangerous goods whether by air or by sea, needs to be safely managed by industry professionals who are fully aware of the legislative requirements for the carriage of these goods. The CBFCA is committed to delivering the very best of dangerous goods compliance training for both international freight forwarders and shippers within Australia to ensure that all legislative and compliance requirements are met.

Most dangerous goods can be placed on an aircraft or a vessel provided all the preparation work has been completed in terms of the packaging, labelling and documentation.

Classroom-based Courses
Our classroom-based courses (DG by Air/Sea) are marketed by the CBFCA through its training partner All Modes Dangerous Goods (AMDG). These fully interactive sessions with small class sizes ensure that each course participant receives the utmost attention from the course facilitator.

Online Training
In conjunction with our training partner AFIF (Australian Federation of International Forwarders), we offer a flexible e-learning version of the IMDG Code (Dangerous Goods by Sea only). This allows the course participant to complete the course from the convenience of their home or office. All Dangerous Goods Courses offered by the CBFCA are of the highest industry standard.
