NOMINAL DURATION

Nominal duration for this course is 38 hours, which may be delivered in 1 or 1/2 day modules. The duration is dependant upon the specific workplace needs, the range and type of packaging used, and the range of Dangerous Goods involved.

Modular delivery tends to extend the required time due to revision needs of the participants. Sound knowledge of Dangerous Goods and experience in the appropriate field allow shorter time frames.
