Frequently asked
What does the 4.1.E course cover?
The different classes of dangerous goods, including flammable liquids, explosives and toxic materials, plus labelling, packaging and documentation requirements and the safety precautions that apply when handling these materials. Classroom instruction is combined with hands-on training in a simulated warehouse environment.
Does the course cover segregation and stowage of ULDs?
Handling, storage and ULD loading and unloading are central to the function this category covers, and the syllabus works through the classes of dangerous goods and the precautions attached to each. Bring your facility’s stowage and segregation scenarios so they can be worked through during the practical sessions.
Do drivers and equipment operators need 4.1.E?
It depends on whether they work under supervision. Staff working under supervision for handling and storage of baggage, cargo or mail, including porters, loaders, equipment operators and drivers, are covered by the shorter 4.1.L category. Staff responsible for the handling and storage function itself need 4.1.E.
Is there hands-on practice during the course?
Yes. The course includes hands-on training in a simulated warehouse environment so participants apply what they have learned in a controlled setting rather than only in theory.
How long is the certificate valid and when should I rebook?
All dangerous goods training certifications are valid for two years. Ground handling operations with rotating shift teams usually find it easier to schedule recurrent training as a rolling in-house programme rather than sending individuals out as certificates expire.
Can this programme be delivered at our facility?
Yes. Customised programmes can be delivered at your site or at our Dubai centre, on your schedule.
Does a customised programme replace a GCAA-approved course?
Where a role requires a GCAA-approved function, we will recommend the relevant GCAA course alongside the programme so the certificate requirement is met.
