Lithium Battery Training Courses for Air, Road & Sea Transportation

The rise of Lithium Batteries in consumer products has been exponential over the last few years and until a different battery power source is developed it is set to continue.

Our E-Learning courses are built in a modular format, taking learners through the required aspects of transporting dangerous goods in limited quantities for that specific mode. The criterion for the training comes from the IATA, IMDG or ADR regulations.

The modules are designed so the student can learn at their own pace. Each module concludes with a knowledge check. The E-Learning is supported by facilitator coaching before, during and prior to the test.

Batteries Training Courses

Our courses are interactive and concluded with a knowledge or a CAA test. To gain certification a successful 80% pass mark is required. The Air test is adjudicated in line with CAA requirements.  It is recommended that the training is repeated every 2 years.

Upcoming Courses

Low-level battery vs Full lithium battery courses

Course Mode What it covers Important limitations
Air Only
Low-level Section II lithium/sodium batteries packed with equipment or contained in equipment. It focuses on the specific Section II requirements, battery mark, packaging, overpacks, air waybill information, and handling.
It is not for batteries shipped without equipment. Batteries alone, or batteries above Section II limits, are fully regulated and need the full lithium battery course. Section II limits are 100 wh (Ion) 2 g (Metal)
Sea & Road
Small lithium batteries moving under Special Provision 188. It is a simplified sea/road battery route for eligible small batteries. Covering battery mark, packaging, overpacks and handling.
If the battery does not meet SP188 requirements, you need the full course. Only for batteries under the limit of 100 wh (Ion) 2 g (Metal).
Air, Sea & Road
The course combines Special Provision 188 for Sea & Road and Adequate Instructions Section II for Air.
Batteries must be under 100 wh (Ion) or 2 g (Metal) shipped with or withour equipment.
Full Batteries
Air
UK CAA battery training for regulated lithium battery shipments by air under IATA regulations, including classification, identification, packing, marking, labelling, documentation, and handling.
Use when batteries are shipped alone, above low-level limits, or otherwise fully regulated. It is broader than Section II adequate instruction ad covers all types of batteries
Full Batteries
Sea & Road
Full IMDG and/or ADR battery training for regulated battery shipments by sea and/or road. Includes classification, identification, packing, marking, labelling, documentation and handling
Use when the shipment is not eligible for SP188 or you have a combination of batteries.
