Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Any person who ships, handles, or transports dangerous goods by ground must be adequately trained and hold a valid certificate.
This TDG course has been developed to meet the TDG Regulation general training requirements. The course consists of 10 chapters and a final exam. Once you pass your exam, you may print your wall and wallet-sized certificates. Your training also includes a plastic wallet certificate. This card typically ships within one day using Canada Post regular mail.
A TDG Certificate must be renewed when the 3-year expiry date has been met, or if you change employers. TDG certificates must be signed by your current employer. Your training record will be securely stored in your account and can be accessed in the “Manage Certificates” section at any time.
The course may be started and stopped as needed; there is no time limit. It is fully narrated and includes interactive exercises in each chapter. Once the course has been completed, you will understand the requirements and responsibilities of anyone who handles, ships, or transports dangerous goods by ground.
This training course is meant to be completed online, but we also offer webinars, self-study books, and on-site training. If additional training is needed for the work being performed, supplementary on-site training is available. We also offer training for TDG by sea (IMDG) and TDG by Air (IATA).
