COURSE OVERVIEW:
Whatever your role in a trading environment, you must know about the detail of freight execution and management. It affects all aspects of every transaction in which you are involved.

It does not just cover the nuts-and-bolts of administration and execution but more importantly it provides you with a modern business approach in order to maximise financial returns from your freight management and execution operations. You will learn in detail about contracts, CPs, execution, financial aspects and crucial legal issues, as well as learning what can go wrong and how to avoid loss.
