1 May 2008 - Cargologic AG certified as an IATA-Accredited Training School for dangerous goods in airfreight

Cargologic sees this international certification not only as recognition of the training it has provided to date, but also as an obligation for the future. Cargologic provides an up-to-date range of courses based on carefully compiled teaching materials, which is tailored to suit various levels and positions. This constitutes a firm basis for consignors to be able to prepare dangerous goods professionally and safely for transport by air, follow industry guidelines on packaging, label and mark packages carefully and complete dispatch documents correctly.

The airfreight forwarder ensures that the shipment arrives at its destination punctually and without delay, and that it can be duly delivered to the customer. Training materials and course structure are in conformity with regulations drawn up by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which is the authority for such material in Switzerland.

Cargologic AG is now certified to run courses for staff at every level, which are also accredited by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA). The certification ensures that the course content and teaching materials are exactly what is needed to meet national and international requirements, both in terms of quality and quantity.

Cargologic AG's Dangerous Goods Training Center makes a significant contribution to the continuous and professional training of all employees involved in airfreight. In short, it ensures that dangerous goods can be transported safely.

Cargologic's range of courses and teaching materials are continuously updated, and lively teaching methods are used that draw on practical experience, with classes taking place in pleasant surroundings. These are all requirements for certification, and as such will be reviewed on an annual basis.
