FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TraversEd and NCBFAA Form Alliance to Offer Internationally Recognized Freight Forwarding Education
TORONTO, January 9, 2024 – TraversEd has entered an agreement with the NCBFAA Educational Institute (NEI) to offer internationally recognized freight forwarder education to the U.S.
TraversEd provides flexible online courses that enable learners to start and finish at their own pace, from anywhere in the United States. These interactive, fully narrated lessons are designed to challenge and prepare the learner for a career in Freight Forwarding and teach the competencies that NCBFAA member firms require to operate in a competitive market.
Training new and existing staff can be costly and time consuming, as can maintaining training programs to keep up with constant change. These online courses to be offered through NEI are deemed vital for freight forwarding companies which seek to provide new employees and future leaders with the vital skill sets necessary to succeed in global logistics.
The core offering is the TraversEd Global Trade Certificate (TGT), which includes completion of 1 to 3 levels in the following courses:
· International Transportation and Trade – Tier 1 or 2
· Essentials of Freight Forwarding – Tier 1 or 2
· Advanced Freight Services – Tier 3
NEI will offer learners who successfully complete all three courses with the ability for the globally recognized FIATA - International Federation of Freight Forwarders diploma once the courses are validated by FIATA. Courses are scheduled to become available via NEI in late winter 2024.
