ometimes, just finding the time for learning can be a challenge when you’re already
swamped with daily duties.
Fortunately, the Defense Ammunition Center (DAC) offers distance learning courses.
Online courses eliminate the high costs and hassles of TDY trips, and give students
greater flexibility because they can complete class course work in their own time and at
their own pace.
Currently, DAC has more than 50 accredited online courses. One example is the
recertification refresher course AMMO-37-DL,
General Transportation of Hazardous
Materials.
It meets the mandatory refresher training requirements found in the Defense
Transportation Regulation (DTR) DOD 4500.9-R.
DOD personnel who handle HAZMAT preparation, packaging, marking, labeling or
documentation can take AMMO-37-DL if they have completed one of the initial HAZMAT
courses listed in Vol 2, Chap 204 of the DTR.
For the complete list of distance learning courses, visit:
On the main page, select Online Training. You will need your CAC to register. For help
with online courses, contact the Army Learning Management System at DSN 826-4745 or
(877) 251-0730.
