Frequently Asked Questions – IMDG Code Ship Operator Course

Is previous experience required?

No previous experience is required to take the E-learning IMDG Code Ship Operator Course. The course starts with the basic principles of the IMDG Code and then continues with the subjects that are specifically relevant for ship operators. Because this is a function-specific course, it is especially useful for participants who are involved in vessel operations, ship handling or operational decision-making related to dangerous goods 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 Operator Course. The course follows the IMDG Code training requirements for personnel whose responsibilities are connected to the transport and handling of dangerous goods by sea. 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 operations.

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 job responsibilities change. We recommend refreshing the IMDG Code Ship Operator Course at least every three years, or earlier if there are important changes in legislation, company procedures, vessel operations or dangerous goods responsibilities.

Who should take this course?

This course is intended for ship operators and vessel-related personnel who require function-specific IMDG training for the handling, carriage and operational management of dangerous goods by sea. It is suitable for employees involved in ship operations, vessel planning, dangerous goods acceptance, stowage considerations, segregation, documentation checks, emergency response and fire prevention related to dangerous goods. Personnel with a more general office or administrative role may be better suited to the IMDG Awareness course, while personnel with loading or consignor responsibilities may need the relevant function-specific course for their role.
