The course was very good in emphasiszing the basics of the regulatory process for offering dangerous goods by ocean.There was a lot of information that wasn't spoken to in the final assessment.My feeling here is that is you are going to include that information then either make reference to it in the final assessment or take such information out of the course.Example Container locaton and loading.
