Heavy Transport Online Training Course
This platform provides a comprehensive online training course dedicated specifically to the heavy transport sector.
Why focus on heavy transport? Independent forwarders often encounter a revenue ceiling with standard sea, road, and airfreight shipments. The heavy lift and project cargo sector, while potentially more lucrative due to higher margins, presents unique challenges and greater risks.
The course is divided into 7 clear, effective modules, featuring 71 focused 10-minute sessions on key topics like terminology, dimensions, forces, heavy transport, lifting, jacking, skidding, and loadouts. We’re also proud to introduce 5 exclusive videos on Stability, showing how the same principles apply across transporters, cranes, and barges — a first in the industry!

In addition to the flexibility of not needing to travel for workshops or seminars, the course allows participants to start and stop their training at their own pace, with no deadlines. Upon completion, an e-Certificate is provided via email, which can be immediately shared to verify training credentials with clients and officials.
Each user receives a personal log-in so they can train at their own pace with the ability to revisit and repeat any lessons as needed. They will also retain ongoing access to the course, allowing them to return and review specific modules whenever a relevant situation arises in their work.
