Certificate Programs for Freight Forwarders
THE
REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR THE 2007-2008 EDUCATION YEAR IS NOW CLOSED, and we are no longer
accepting registrations. Registration will open again in June 2008.
NEW for 2007-2008: To assist our
Distance Learning students, we have developed a set of e-Learning Modules to accompany our
Textbooks. The e-Learning Modules will replace the current Student Workbooks, and will help
bridge the information gap for Distance Learning students who do not attend a classroom lecture.
For students attending classrooms
(Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal), there will be no changes from previous years.
CIFFA is pleased to offer two education programs for staff of
international freight forwarders who wish to acquire the
knowledge and skills required to succeed in the business of
moving freight on an international level.
