So... no dry ice and dishsoap? How dull...

Where can I get my shipping dangerous goods training on the cheap? (Like this, but not for $400.)
I need to find an affordable way to get 3-5 people trained to ship infectious substances, biological specimens, dry ice, etc. There are specific IATA guidelines on this. Plenty of companies are happy to do this, but a training CD or website access usually costs around $400 a year. Is there a cheaper way? (I'm in NYC, if that matters.)

Please don't cut corners on training how to ship infectious substances.

Response by poster: Just to calm DU's fears, this is a training we've all done multiple times, and no one on my team ships anything especially horrible. The dry ice is more dangerous than anything we're sending in it. It's just a bureaucratic formality that we have to do it every couple years.
dg Yeah after some more research $380-$400 is kind of an industry norm it seems. I was hoping somebody knew some secret NYC knowledge about the health department or some university doing it for less.
