CIFFA’s Education Mandate is to provide high quality, industry-related and relevant education programs that further develop the skill sets of CIFFA member employees. To guarantee relevancy of contents, CIFFA continuously updates course material to keep pace with the ever-changing business environment of today.
Our education and training initiatives are anchored on four pillars:
- Certificate Programs
- International Trade Workshops
- Dangerous Goods Training Programs
- Air Cargo Security Training Programs
Certificate Programs
Certificate Programs are held in co-operation with the Continuing Education Departments of many colleges and universities across Canada. Our Certificates are highly recognized by industry, and are commonly asked for as an educational requirement in position postings. Manufacturing and logistics companies also value these Programs, and regularly send their staff to CIFFA for their education. Programs are also recognized by FIATA (International Federation of Freight Forwarding Associations) in Zurich. See our web site for Program details: www.ciffa.com/education_courses.asp
International Trade Workshops
Half-day Workshops designed to provide transportation and logistics personnel with topical information on a variety of subjects in an easy to digest format. These Workshops allow our participants to receive quality training in a shortened time-frame. These Workshops are more than just information sessions, and utilize Case Studies to enhance the learning and understanding.
