The Spring Introduction to Freight Forwarding course, delivered by IIFA in association with Pearse College Dublin, will commence this week with two full class groups. Originally set only for Wednesday afternoons, demand for this popular course was high and a second sitting was organised. There will be separate Wednesday afternoon and Friday mornings sessions, totalling 31 Participants across both groups.
This course will run until the end of April 2024. The next sitting for the Introduction to Freight Forwarding will be in September 2024 and registration for same will open during the summer months.
