[NHCOLL-L:5353] RE: IATA training

[Dirk Neumann]

Hi Karen,

at ZSM we have self-trained as discussed by Andy; all participants have 
signed that they attended the training. This should be sufficient for 
the records. However, the presentation is in German, so I think it won't 
be of much help for you (unless you have a colleague who could translate 
the slides).


All the best
Dirk
