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.
Canada's federal, provincial, and territorial legislation requires anyone who handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods to hold TDG training - this course covers ground transportation specifically, not air, rail, or water.
It works through the legislation itself, the chemical hazards and nine classes of dangerous goods, packaging and labelling requirements, shipping documents, segregation and vehicle loading, and how to respond to accidents using an Emergency Response Assistance Plan.
On completion, a worker is qualified to handle all classes of dangerous goods except Classes 1, 6.2, and 7 (explosives, infectious substances, and radioactive materials) - those require additional, separate training, which this course states plainly rather than implying broader coverage than it provides.
