Choosing a course

Which course matches your work?

9 questions

Which dangerous goods course is right for my work?

That depends on the employee’s tasks and the level of knowledge required. Basic and Recognition courses cover general awareness. If the work involves more detailed transport rules, documents, exemptions or tank transport, a full ADR, IMDG and/or IATA Awareness course may be more suitable. Use the Training Guide to compare levels and content.

What is the difference between the Basic, Recognition and full Awareness courses?

Basic training focuses on recognising hazards and working safely. Recognition training adds more practical topics, such as packaging, labelling and receiving goods. The full Awareness course covers more detailed subjects and, depending on the selected course, specific ADR, IMDG or IATA requirements.

What do ADR, IMDG and IATA mean?

ADR concerns the carriage of dangerous goods by road. The IMDG Code applies to maritime transport, while the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations cover air transport. The training required depends on the work carried out and the transport modes involved.

Is dangerous goods awareness training mandatory?

Many activities covered by ADR, the IMDG Code or IATA-DGR are subject to training requirements. The exact requirements depend on the role and applicable rules. An online course can support that training, but the employer remains responsible for assessing whether the complete training programme is appropriate.

Can employees take a course without prior knowledge?

Yes. The Basic and Recognition courses introduce the main concepts and build knowledge step by step. Employees responsible for specific transport requirements should first compare the subjects covered by the full course.

Can I combine ADR, IMDG and IATA training?

Full Awareness courses are available for different transport modes and selected combinations. Not every combination is sold as a separate product. Check the Training Shop for available options and use the Training Guide to identify the relevant subjects.

Can I preview the course before ordering?

Yes. The website offers a demo and an explanation of the e-learning platform, including examples and screenshots. These give you an impression of the course structure and how the platform works.

Do all employees need to take the same course?

No. The appropriate awareness training depends on each employee’s duties, mode of transport and responsibilities. Use the Training Guide to compare the subjects and levels for different roles.

Can the Training Guide help me choose ADR 1.3 training?

The Training Guide helps you choose a suitable course based on the work involved and the knowledge needed. Whether a particular course meets all training obligations for your role depends on the applicable regulations and duties.

TOPIC

Ordering and payment

Licences, payment and access

9 questions

How do I order an online dangerous goods course?

Choose a course in the Training Shop, select the licence type and number of licences, then complete checkout. Choose Individual if you will take the course yourself or Group if you want to enrol one or more other employees.

What is the difference between Individual and Group?

With Individual, the course is assigned to the account used to place the order. With Group, you purchase licences for employees and manage enrolments through Group Management. If you want to take part yourself, select the option to enrol yourself during checkout.

Can I create a group for just one employee?

Yes. You can place a group order starting with one licence. There is no need to gather a minimum number of employees first.

When will I get access to my course?

Access is linked to the relevant account or group once the order or payment has been successfully processed or approved. For bank transfers, access is normally processed after payment is received or approved; the current ordering information indicates within 24 hours. Check your confirmation email and account.

Can I pay by bank transfer?

Yes. For bank transfers, you receive a pro forma invoice with payment details. The current information allows 30 days to complete payment. Your account may already exist while course access is still awaiting payment confirmation.

Where can I find my order and invoice?

Sign in to the account you used for checkout and open your order history. Also check the emails sent when your order was placed and processed. Contact DG-Learning if a document is missing.

Is there a discount for multiple licences?

For eligible Awareness courses with a base price of €119 per person, group discounts are: 0% for 1–9 licences, 5% for 10–19, 10% for 20–29, 20% for 30–49, 25% for 50–79 and 30% from 80 licences. The discount applies to the full number; a quotation is also possible from 100 licences. Always check the current price and any product-specific conditions in the Training Shop.

Can I buy extra licences for an existing group?

Yes. In Group Management, you can view the remaining licences for your group and, where supported, order additional licences. This lets you enrol more employees later.

Can I order courses in both Dutch and English?

Separate Dutch-language and English-language courses are available. Check the language stated on the product page and order the correct version. Purchasing one language version does not automatically provide access to the other.

Account and privacy

Signing in and managing your details

6 questions

How do I create a DG-Learning account?

You can create an account during checkout. If a group leader enrols you, you will receive login details or an invitation at the email address provided. Use the same email address as your enrolment.

Where can I sign in?

Use the Sign in button at the top of the website. After signing in, you can access your courses, progress and certificates from your profile and the available course sections.

I forgot my password. What should I do?

Use the password reset option on the sign-in page. Check your spam folder as well. If no email arrives, make sure you used the correct email address and contact support if necessary.

Who can see my profile and course information?

Student profiles are not public to general website visitors. You and DG-Learning administrators can access your information; authorised group leaders can view information related to their own group that is needed to manage enrolments and course results. Other group members do not automatically have access to all profile details.

Can I update my name or profile details?

Yes. Open your profile and use the edit options. Depending on your account, you can update your name, additional details and preferences. Make sure your name is correct before completing the final test so it can appear correctly on your certificate.

How do I delete my DG-Learning account?

Open the account settings from your account menu and find the option to delete your account. Please note that permanent deletion may affect course records, orders and certificates and cannot simply be undone. Save any documents you need first.

TOPIC

Taking a course

Learning at your own pace

8 questions

Can I complete an e-learning course at my own pace?

Yes. You can pause your course and continue where you left off as long as your access remains active. Work through the chapters, examples and practice questions at a convenient time.

How long can I access my course?

The standard access period for DG-Learning Awareness courses is 93 days. The start date depends on enrolment and the particular course. Check the expiry date shown for your course or ask your group leader. Other products may have different access periods.

Can I take a course on my phone, tablet or computer?

Yes. The e-learning platform is designed for smartphones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers. A larger screen may be more comfortable for detailed quizzes or working with regulations.

Can I skip chapters or quizzes?

Most Awareness courses are organised in a sequence. Depending on the course, you may need to complete earlier parts before the next section becomes available. This helps you build your knowledge step by step.

How can I see how much of my course I have completed?

Sign in and open your course or profile. You can see which sections are complete and which remain. Your group leader can also monitor progress for their own group.

What happens when my course access expires?

Once your access expires, you may no longer be able to continue the active course. Check your end date and complete the final test before access runs out. If you need more time, contact DG-Learning to discuss the options.

Can I use the course as a reference after completing it?

For eligible Awareness courses, reference access remains available for two years after completion under DG-Learning’s current setup. This is separate from the period in which you can actively take the course and final test. Check the terms for your specific product.

What is the difference between practice questions and the final test?

Practice questions help you check your understanding during the course. The final test completes the awareness training. For the relevant courses, a score of at least 70% is required for a certificate of participation.

TOPIC

Final test and certificates

Completing, downloading and retrieving

7 questions

When will I receive a certificate of participation?

For Awareness courses, you receive a personal certificate after completing the required parts and passing the final test with at least 70%. Exact conditions may vary by course.

What if I do not pass the final test on my first attempt?

For Awareness courses, you can retake the final test if you have not yet passed. This allows you to practise until you reach the required score while the course remains available. It does not guarantee a pass in the official CBR examination.

Where can I find and download my certificate?

After completing the course, you can view and download your certificate as a PDF. Certificates you have earned are also available in your account under your courses and My Certificates, where you can save or print them.

Will my certificate also be emailed to me?

For courses using certificate emails, the stored PDF is sent to the student’s email address. If you are enrolled through a group, the authorised group leader may also receive a copy. Check your spam folder if the message does not arrive.

Can my group leader access my certificate?

Yes. If you were enrolled through a group, an authorised group leader can access your results and earned certificates for the group they manage. Other students do not automatically gain access to your certificate.

Is a DG-Learning certificate the same as a CBR qualification?

No. A certificate of participation from an Awareness course confirms successful completion of that online training. It is not an official CBR ADR Safety Adviser qualification. You must pass the official examination to obtain that qualification.

The name on my certificate is incorrect. What should I do?

First, check the name in your profile. If the certificate has already been generated with incorrect details, contact DG-Learning and tell us which course is involved. We can review the correction options without unnecessarily affecting your course records.

Groups and employees

Enrol students and monitor results

10 questions

How do I create a group for my employees?

Select a course in the Training Shop, choose Group as the licence type, enter the number of licences and a group name, and complete checkout. Once processed, the group appears in Group Management, where you can enrol employees.

How do I enrol an employee in a group?

Open Group Management, select the appropriate group and use the option to enrol a new student. Enter the requested details carefully. The employee will then receive the usual account and course instructions.

Do I need my own licence as a group leader?

Not if you only manage the group. If you also want to take the course and earn a certificate, you need to be enrolled as a student and use a licence.

Where can I view employee progress and quiz results?

In Group Management, you can view students, course status, progress and available quiz results for groups you are authorised to manage. Use the filters and, where offered, export the results to track training across your organisation.

Can I manage several groups for the same course?

This is possible where your order and group setup support it. You can then select the relevant group in Group Management. If you need an additional group but the option is not available, contact us.

Can students in the same group see each other’s personal data?

Students do not receive general management access to the personal data of other group members. Enrolment management, results and certificates are intended for the student concerned, authorised group leaders and DG-Learning administrators. The visibility of individual profile fields depends on their settings.

Can I change my group name?

Yes. Group Management provides an edit option for users authorised to change the group name. You do not need to buy the course again to make this change.

Helpful linkOpen my groups

Can I move, remove or re-enrol an employee?

Available actions depend on your group permissions, course status and remaining licences. Make changes carefully, as they can affect existing results, enrolments and access. Ask for support before deleting information if you are unsure.

Does a group leader automatically receive employees’ certificates?

For courses with certificate emails enabled, the group leader may receive a copy of an earned certificate. Results and certificates for the group they manage can also be found using the authorised group management functions.

Can I check when my students’ access expires?

Yes. Group leaders can view the available expiry dates in Group Management, including the expiry date for each student. This makes it easier to remind participants to complete their course in time.

ADR exam preparation

Practise for the CBR examination

5 questions

Who is the CBR ADR Safety Adviser exam preparation course for?

This course is for candidates preparing for the official CBR ADR Safety Adviser examination, including initial qualification and renewal. You practise questions that require you to locate, understand and apply ADR provisions.

Is DG-Learning’s exam preparation course the official CBR examination?

No. DG-Learning provides an independent online preparation course with practice questions and explanations. You sit the official examination separately with the CBR. Taking this preparation course does not replace the examination requirements.

Can I practise applying ADR regulations?

Yes. The practice questions focus on finding and applying relevant ADR provisions. Where possible, the explanations also refer to the relevant provisions so you can see the basis for the answer.

Can I ask an ADR specialist a question during exam preparation?

For practice questions in the exam preparation course, you can use the Ask a question option to request support. Explain where you are stuck and what clarification you need so the ADR specialist can respond to the right issue.

Does the exam preparation course guarantee that I pass the CBR exam?

No. The preparation course helps you practise, but the result of the official CBR examination depends on your knowledge, preparation and performance on the day. Passing an online practice test is not a CBR examination result.

My course or group is missing. What should I do?

Check that you are signed in using the email address associated with your enrolment or order. Confirm that the order has been processed and that you are using the appropriate language view. A group leader who only manages a group is not automatically enrolled as a student. Contact us if the course is still missing.

A course or quiz is not working correctly. What should I do?

Refresh the page and, if necessary, try an up-to-date browser. Check your internet connection and that your course access is active. If the issue continues, send DG-Learning the course name, the section involved and a short description. A screenshot may help.

I have not received a confirmation or instruction email. What now?

Check your spam or junk folder and the email address entered during checkout or enrolment. Ask your group leader to check the enrolment or contact DG-Learning. Do not place a second order immediately.
