General Course Description
This course first provides students with an introduction into the format and layout of the Title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations manual itself. Students are exposed to the administrative and logistical regulations
necessary to understand the implementation of the practical portion of the regulations. From that point,
the student is gradually exposed to the preparatory requirements providing a basis for the practical
application of the regulations.
Theory, logistics and administration are then set aside and replaced with hands-on use of the regulations.
The strength of the course lies within the extensive utilization of classroom exercises to reinforce the
concepts taught during the lecture portion of the course. Those individuals who require a greater
understanding of the regulations will benefit greatly from this extended training.
Each section of the course is taught in a manner that builds on previously acquired knowledge and prepares
the student to move into the next section. Through the use of lecture, clasroom exercises and quizzes, the
student can focus development and utilization with the material that is presented.
At the completion of the curriculum, the student will be in a position to identify the required elements
necessary to ship dangerous goods via ground transportation within the United States.
