OBJECTIVES
To train and certify a new genre of dynamic shipping and logistics professionals, who know the latest trends and are capable of handling new challenges. While millions of new jobs are being created, most multinationals and conglomerates are finding it difficult to head-hunt for key positions in the Shipping and logistics industry.
Education and certification is the key to success and the time is ripe for imparting training to shipping and logistics professionals so that they can effectively take-on the challenges in the future.
This certification program is aimed at honing the skills of officers, junior managers, as well as experienced executives without formal training. A large number of professionals in India, Asia Pacific and the Middle East are associated with international trade and shipping process in different industries. What they lack is a formal training about international trade and shipping that will give them a competitive edge in their chosen field of specialization.
