IATA DGR course Kenya

Teams ask from airlines and handlers at Nairobi, including Jomo Kenyatta as the main international cargo gateway, from freight forwarders in Nairobi and Mombasa, and from shippers in horticulture, pharmacy, oil and gas support or general industry when a consignment is prepared for a flight. Mombasa is a sea-port context: this page still covers only the air leg, not a road regime.

East African cargo connects through Nairobi for many operators. That geography does not select function 7.1, 7.3 or any other function. Two desks in the same building can prepare shipments and accept them. Describe each group. The Ghana and Nigeria pages apply the same method to GCAA and NCAA. Here the local authority to check is the KCAA.

Functions 7.1 to 7.10 follow tasks: preparing consignments, processing general cargo, accepting dangerous goods, handling and loading, passengers and baggage, load planning, flight crew, dispatch, cabin crew, and security screening. KOST is listed by IATA as a CBTA centre and approved by ANAC for these functions, reference ANAC/DSOA/SAL-DGR/01/2026. The reference does not assign a Kenyan employee to a function.

Send what each person receives, checks, may refuse, signs, and hands over. An old category in a manual is evidence of an internal label, not an automatic mapping. IATA DGR, ICAO Annex 18 and Doc 9284 are read in the current edition, plus any operator rule.

Kenyan participants attend virtually from Algiers. There is no KOST classroom in Nairobi or Mombasa. In-person attendance at the centre means travel to Bab Ezzouar. Paris is another KOST location; this course is not scheduled there on this page.

A classroom in Kenya is studied only after prior written IATA authorization and confirmation of KCAA and operator requirements. Until then, the delivery that can be described is the virtual class from Algiers, or the centre in Bab Ezzouar.

Before enrolment, check what the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority and the operator require for the role. This page does not quote a KCAA clause and does not say the course is recognised in Kenya by default. Attach any written requirement you already have.

The Algerian approval reference stays ANAC/DSOA/SAL-DGR/01/2026. It is not a KCAA decision. The proposal will separate what is confirmed from what is still open.

The IATA DGR provides for recurrent training at intervals not exceeding 24 months, to be confirmed in the current edition and against KCAA or operator rules. No expiry date is printed here. Recurrency follows duties held now, not the title used on the previous course.

See the English recurrent page, linked with the French recyclage page. Where the function is already 7.1 or 7.3, those pages have a recurrent section.

Write the duties, the Kenyan cities, the function you think may apply, and any previous training date. Use the form, cbta@kostacademy.com, or WhatsApp +213 542 305 383. The reply is written. A phone appointment is not offered.

The proposal will name the functions to examine and the virtual delivery from Algiers. It will not state that the KCAA has approved the session.
