F 1B

The F1B course trains staff who help prepare dangerous goods shipments by air, without taking responsibility for signing the transport declaration. It provides the skills to prepare packages, packaging and documentation in compliance with safety rules. San Giorgio delivers it as an ENAC-recognised training organisation, in compliance with IATA DGR and ICAO regulations.

Who it is for. The course is aimed at staff involved in preparing dangerous goods shipments (for example in shipping departments or warehouses), in an operational role supporting the person who signs the transport declaration.

Training follows the competency-based approach (CBTA), the standard required by ICAO and IATA, focused on building practical operational skills.

Exam and training certificate. There is an exam at the end of the course. Participants who pass the exam receive an ENAC-recognised training certificate, valid for a maximum of 24 months.
