This interactive 3-D simulation will allow you to experience and perform the acceptance procedure in a realistic shipment scenario together with the documentation and full acceptance checklist. The simulation aims to reproduce a close-to-real process, assessing the employee skills and ensure that you are competent to perform your job function, fulfil your dangerous goods training requirements and be in full compliance with the regulations.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
• Relate the full process of acceptance
• Assess the dangerous goods (DG) shipment information
• Simulate and practice the process of the acceptance of DG shipments
• Apply IATA’s DGR manual to be able to fully process, accept or reject DG shipment
Course format:
• The DG Compass 3-D Simulation module requires approximately 4 hours to complete with a pass mark of 80% correct answers for each of the practice sessions.
• Access to the DG Compass 3-D simulator is available for 6 months from the purchase date (enrollment validity).
• After the enrollment validity expires, the users will not have access to the simulation module content.
Target audience
• Cargo operations and ground handling staff
• Airline cargo acceptance and cargo agency staff
• Cargo agents, consolidators, freight forwarders involved in acceptance
Key topics
• Shipmenot verview
• Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD)
• Air Waybill
• DG Acceptance checklist
Recommended level
• Entry-level
• Intermediate
Assessment information:
Please read the General Information on Self-study exams. Your session includes 2 practice scenarios and 2 assessment scenarios. The 2-practice scenario must be taken first and prior to the assessment scenarios.
Practice scenarios:
• Practice scenarios do not have a time limit and can be taken at your own pace
• The results from the practice scenarios are not calculated for your final result.
Assessment scenarios:
• Assessment scenarios can be taken at any time at your convenience
• Assessment scenarios must be taken one after the other, as the time limit is for both together
• The results from assessment scenario are calculated for your final result, which is the average result of both scenario
• Time allowance: 75 minutes combined for both assessment scenarios
DG Compass 3-D Simulation:
A safe and efficient air transport system is dependent on a competent workforce, meaning that you must be trained in the functions for which you are responsible – whether or not this is noted in your job title. IATA recognizes that this is best achieved through a Competencybased Training and Assessment approach (CBTA). This 3-D simulation tool has been designed following the new Dangerous Goods Training Guidelines on CBTA principles in the IATA DGR appendix H, where the employee skills is an essential part of their qualification and routine continuous assessment.
The DG Compass 3-D simulation provides a realistic representation of the acceptance process, utilizing dynamic images of the shipment, together with the accompanying documentation, DGD, Air Waybill and acceptance checklist
You will be able to identify the general shipment details
• Examine the documentations
• DGD and Air waybill and validate vs the shipment
• Examine 360° the shipment to verify marking and labelling or any signs of damages or leakage
Certificate awarded Upon successful completion of the exam, you will achieve an IATA “Award of Completion”.
