It is all new material. Sander paid close attention to each person’s specific needs and sitation. The interaction between the students was also particularly instructive. It was an educational 3 days!
Challenging

I found the course challenging but good. A little fast if you are not doing dangerous goods shipments on a daily basis.

Instructor Sander de Man mastered the special gift of delivering dry material in a lively and hands-on manner. As students among ourselves, we were also able to learn a lot from each other as a result.
Lots of info in a fun way

It was 3 long days if you have not been in the classroom for 30 years but through a lugty way of teaching and fun examples it was manageable. especially the difference in the issues handled by each person/company is very interesting to hear
Perfect training

Good help

Perhaps less catching up on modules that are not asked for due to calculator book or other tools. And pay a little more attention to things that do matter. Now we often got stuck because others entered into discussion for something that would not be asked and this in turn takes up extra time. Furthermore, the explanation was clear there was opportunity given for questions that did matter. All in all, an important course to pass
Well-crafted, all-encompassing training!

Exceptionally well delivered training. Teaching materials provided are current and include many real-world examples. Prepared for the exam with the help of mock exams on the online portal. I actually feel proficient after completing this training.

I think it’s a very important and educational week. The course was very lengthy though.
Everything was fine again!

The original 2 day course was taught in 1 day on location for 7 people. Was long enough in my eyes and everyone passed. Going to do it this way again next time.
fine

The course at Special cargo was excellent. no comments/improvements towards SCS. Only comment I can make, and it is not so much directed toward SCS but more toward Cito. Is that you cannot see what mistakes you have made and thus cannot learn from them.
highly professional

The teachers there are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. The teaching material is also very clearly translated and made applicable for practical use.
Very instructive
Robert Pruijssers
Schiedam
Because there were only 3 of us in the class with Jan being a great and competent teacher I learned a lot, also because the other two gentlemen came from totally different companies that I do myself. We had all the time and space to hear each other’s situations to which Jan very nicely gave additional answers how to deal with certain situations and what the legislation says about them.
Instructive expert training

I found the training to be instructive.
Good interactive course
Martijn Brugman
Schiphol
The refresher course was good. Jan explains everything clearly and what I also really liked was the online tests we could do via QR Code on the phone. That makes it all a little more fun to follow and you’re more involved in the whole thing

Everything was well organized. The course, lunch, etc. Only pity was that it was said that we were not going to deal with gases, but then it came up on the exam
The training was intriguing

I have found my education very informative. Many new stimuli, But everything was very intresant and useful To know in the field of storing dangerous goods.
Clear and good
Iris

Good teacher with a lot of knowledge and good examples. Goes through the material in a nice and structured way. The questions in the course powerpoint are a good way to apply the material just learned as well. The course itself was highly recommended. The online exam trainer is less so. I myself saw, from what I suspect, 3-4 errors in the questions. These were shared with the teacher.
Top arranged
Rob Haket

The instructor is very knowledgeable and brings the dry material very lighthearted, in clear language. the course was well provided and highly recommended to others.
Perfect

Only possible tip : try putting KC people together in 1 class and possibly RA people as well. So now I was the only one in the class as KC and had actual questions. Possibly then you can also fill the days in such a way that people from KC for their situation can have more depth. But again, consider it a possible tip, training was otherwise perfect.
Excellent

I am very impressed with the IATA Air Transport Hazardous Materials course and highly recommend it to anyone interested in the aviation industry and safety. This course provides a comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of the laws and regulations surrounding the transportation of dangerous goods in the aviation industry. The course is carefully put together and is easy to understand thanks to the clear explanations of the instructor, Cor Schaatsbergen.
Had 3 very interesting days!

Great course, clear presentation and nice instructor. 3 full days of listening is kind of tough
Good explenation
Joke

Even though I found the course difficult it helped me tremendously that good explanations were given by Ms. de Vries. Unfortunately, we only use batteries but it’s very interesting to see what all has to go into shipping something.
Great teacher, great course
