Shipping and Freight courses

One of the reasons that I started this blog was to assist newcomers to the industry learn and know more about the industry and also for people already in the industry to share their inputs, knowledge and engage in discussions..

Many people from around the world have sent me requests through email and through the question form in the side bar of the blog, and more often than not, I receive below question..

It is always best to approach a training provider in the area where you live as there are at times small variations in procedures followed by the industry in the different countries. Some things remain the same no matter where shipping is studied. If you wish you can always visit my website, click on the required icon and send a request for training to me. Web address is http://www.cargoconsult.co.za. We have trained cargo insurance internationally plus other master classes up in Africa, we being a fully accredited training provider.

Best to always choose an accredited training provider and then you will know you are getting the best to offer.

I am a retired Additional Head of Operations Department of Mumbai Port. After retirement I have set up a training establishment called Spring Tide Institute of Logistics Training or STILT. The Institute educates freshers as well as people already working in the maritime logistics industry on a range of logistics subjects through basic and advanced level courses. At the moment it is a brick and mortar training centre located in Mumbai, but work is on to teach the subjects online. For more information interested candidates can look into the website http://www.stilt.co.in or contact me on 9920696193 or sowrijan@outlook.com

Quoted from an email response from a reader..

I teach a distance learning/internet course “International Logistics” (SCM 2450) in the Supply Chain Management Program at Columbus State Community College. To learn more about it contact the Program Director, L. Blyth at lblyth@cscc.edu.

Or, just purchase the text and study it yourself. “International Logistics,” 4th Edition. by Pierre A. David, Cicero Books, Berea, Ohio USA. The text is just under 700 pages and addresses the topic(s) extensively.
