    Lively and accessible English

    The majority of IMDG Code courses reflect the tone and language of the Code itself - officialese. IMDG-courses.com uses everyday English as much as possible, making the courses much more accessible and easier to follow.

     

    Also, the Code is a reference book. IMDG Courses explain the structure of the Code and presents the topics in a logical order, without assuming prior knowledge.

    Animations and interactive content further help participants to understand and absorb the content of the course. The full content of each course is available for the student to access, directly, as often as required.

     

    Tests and certificates

    There is a test at the end of every module, with each score counting towards the end result and, on successful completion, an overall course certificate.

    FAQs

    Here you can see some of the most frequently asked questions. Click here to go to the page with all FAQs.

     

    Do I have to take the basic course first before I can take a job-specific or advanced course?

    No, each course contains all the content required for a specific position. For each course variant, the content is only more compact or more extensive in line with what is needed for the position. If desired, you can start immediately with, for example, the Advanced course.

     

    What about certification and (international) recognition?

    here is no certification for IMDG Code training. Chapter 1.3 of the Code indicates that employees must be 'adequately' trained (compared to their responsibilities). Governments worldwide accept IMDG training certificates (ask for references if necessary).

    Optional practical day

    Completing the e-learning course* and passing the test is enough for participants to comply with the IMDG Code training requirements.

     

    As an additional option IMDG Courses offers a one-day classroom training (in combination with the e-learning course, in-company only, 8 participants or more). During this practical day, an experienced trainer will cover the full content of the course, look at selected topics in greater depth and answer questions related to situations and subjects specific to the organization.

     

    The trainer will review the e-learning course results of all participants prior to the meeting, and be aware of possible areas that require extra attention.

     

    This ensures maximum effectiveness for the training.
