Program Summary

Freight forwarding is the business of arranging and controlling the movement of cargo on behalf of a shipper. This program builds a practical foundation in that work: how the modes compare on cost and transit, how Incoterms allocate risk and cost between buyer and seller, how the documentation and customs chain actually functions, and how a shipment is quoted, booked and kept moving when something goes wrong.

Alongside the technical modules, the program includes hands-on labs and a virtual internship. You will quote multimodal shipments, prepare a full document set, apply Incoterms to real scenarios, resolve a customs hold, and finish with project work you can show to an employer.
