The assessment includes 30 questions in total. You must achieve 80% to pass the assessment. You may attempt the assessment more than once as follows;

Initial assessment attempt: You will be given three attempts at achieving 80%, after a third attempt and if you have not achieved 80%, the entire course will need to be completed again.
The assessment questions are drawn from a bank of 60 questions in total, and each assessment attempted will use a different combination of questions.

The exam is open book, and we do provide extracts from the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations as and when required to answer the questions. You may also use your own copy of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, however, you will need the 2018, 59th edition.
