You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course

What this course covers.

Anyone who handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods in Canada is legally required to have TDG training - this course delivers both the generic legal requirements and a training matrix an employer can use to add worksite-specific detail on top.

It works through enforcement, common definitions, the responsibilities of the shipper, driver, and receiver, exemptions from TDG, classification of dangerous goods and their hazard levels, the Dangerous Goods Regulations and Schedules 1 through 3, primary and subsidiary classification, safety marks, and what a compliant shipping document requires.

On completion, workers can also download the full Federal Legislation, the Emergency Response Guidebook, and an Employer's Training Matrix - real reference material, not just a certificate.
