There are a variety of ways to attend our hazmat classes. We offer scheduled hazmat training in various locations for various types of dangerous goods and hazardous materials. Courses are conducted over two to four days, depending on the topic. Refer to our hazmat course schedule to find out where and when the pre-scheduled courses will take place. For infrequent or individual training needs, the scheduled hazmat classes are often the most cost-effective.
For clients who have groups that need training, in-house courses may be the better option. With our in-house hazmat training, you can schedule the type of training that your company requires for a time that suits you and your employee schedules. We offer a wide range of hazmat classes that are taught by experienced, skilled trainers from DGAC. Hazmat classes can also be tailored to your needs if you have additional chemicals or dangerous goods that should be added. We create courses that make sense for each company or group we work with and DGAC members are eligible for discounts on in-house training courses.
