Tuesday 29th June 2021 Final Examination – Afternoon sessionTestimonials “The IIFA FIATA Diploma in Freight Forwarding is one of the best courses I have ever undertaken. I cannot recommend the course highly enough, especially for anyone wishing to get a start in the industry or just looking to improve on their general industry knowledge. The course covers all aspects of our industry in sufficient detail to give participants a higher level of confidence when advising their clients and managing those complex shipments and operation issues we encounter from time to time. The modules on Customs, Dangerous Goods and Insurance were of particular interest in that regard. Our clients rely on our guidance and expertise as Freight Forwarders to protect their cargo interests, having the knowledge to advise them correctly is critical to service delivery and Client retention. In my opinion, this course, delivered professionally by the IIFA on behalf of FIATA, establishes a high standard for our industry worldwide.” Conor Ward Wells Cargo Logistics Ltd. “I chose the Freight Forwarding Diploma as I am interested in international transportation, however, even if I am working in the related industry I felt that I needed education in this area to be able to plan my career and know more about industry and different directions to grow. I was pretty committed to this course. I planned to do it 2 years prior. I dedicated a year of most of my time to take as much from this course as possible. This is an internationally recognised Diploma, and is surprisingly inexpensive given the quality of content and the accreditation itself. I chose it as it offers working knowledge into different modes, international legislation, conventions which otherwise is difficult to find on your own, online. It’s a very condensed and fast-paced distance learning course. We had multiple-choice tests and small practical projects at 4-week intervals, and I feel like after finishing it that it gave me the same amount of knowledge or more than the full-time bachelors degree which I completed a few years previous. I am already using the knowledge from this course in my work and it makes me more professional and confident about it. I would recommend this course to anyone involved in shipping or logistics in any way shape or form as it offers a complete understanding of the processes involved start to finish. It will give you a broad understanding of the freight industry and open doors to a lot of different career paths that you may have never considered.” Agnieszka Labocha private enrolment, currently working in the Logistics sector Find Out More For more information please visit our website ciltskillnet.ie or contact the CILT Skillnet team at 01 9068453 or email info@ciltskillnet.ie
