I found the course challenging but good. A little fast if you are not doing dangerous goods shipments on a daily basis.

Instructor Sander de Man mastered the special gift of delivering dry material in a lively and hands-on manner. As students among ourselves, we were also able to learn a lot from each other as a result.
Lots of info in a fun way
