Frequently Asked Questions – IMDG Code Ship Loader Course

Is previous experience required?

No previous experience is required to take the E-learning IMDG Code Ship Loader Course. The course starts with the basic principles of the IMDG Code and then continues with the function-specific subjects that are relevant for personnel involved in loading dangerous goods for sea transport. Because this is a role-specific course, it is especially useful for people who work in warehouses, terminals, ports or logistics operations where dangerous goods are prepared, handled or loaded for shipment by sea. We recommend going through all modules at least twice to make sure the knowledge is properly understood and retained.

Is the certificate internationally recognised?

Yes. After successfully completing the course and passing the multiple-choice test, the participant receives the Certificate E-learning IMDG Code Ship Loader Course. The course follows the IMDG Code training requirements for personnel whose responsibilities are connected to loading dangerous goods for sea transport. The training is delivered under the globally recognised IFCL5051 standard of the International Foundation for Chemical Logistics, which supports international acceptance by companies involved in maritime dangerous goods logistics.

How long is the certificate valid?

The IMDG Code requires personnel involved in dangerous goods transport by sea to receive training that is appropriate to their responsibilities and to receive recurrent training when required. As a practical approach, many companies repeat IMDG training whenever the IMDG Code is updated or when the participant’s duties change. We recommend refreshing the IMDG Code Ship Loader Course at least every three years, or earlier if there are important changes in legislation, company procedures, loading operations, segregation rules or dangerous goods responsibilities.

Who should take this course?

This course is intended for personnel involved in loading dangerous goods that will be transported by sea. It is suitable for dock workers, warehouse staff, terminal operators, logistics employees, loading supervisors and other personnel who need function-specific IMDG training for loading operations. The course is also useful for companies that want to make sure their employees understand classification, labels, packing groups, segregation, documentation, limited quantities and ship operation requirements related to dangerous goods. Personnel with only a general office or administrative role may be better suited to the IMDG Awareness course, while personnel with consignor or ship operator responsibilities may need the relevant function-specific course for their role.
