The IICL offers two online training courses to assist the Dry Van Container exam takers and professionals that want to expand their knowledge on the topics related to dry cargo containers.
The training modules were developed to assist people interested in expanding their knowledge about container inspections and repairs as well as to assist in preparing for the IICL exams. The courses address and highlight important topics that inspectors, repair workers, and personnel involved with maintenance and repair of containers should be aware of.
NOTE: IICL Training Courses are NOT a substitute for inspector certification exams. All who wish to receive an IICL inspector’s certification will need to register online and participate in the IICL Dry Van Container, Refrigerated Container, or Chassis Inspector Certification Examinations.
