Heavy Transport Online Training Course

Freightbook Ltd has made significant investments in professional training, collaborating with an industry expert to develop a tailored eLearning platform. This platform offers a comprehensive online course specifically focused on Heavy Transport.

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 structured into 7 clear and highly effective modules, featuring 71 sessions, each lasting 10 minutes. These sessions cover essential topics such as industry terminology, dimensions, weights and forces, heavy transport, heavy lifting, jacking, skidding, and loadouts.

Plus, we are excited to include a unique set of 5 training videos on Stability, demonstrating that stability principles across transporters, cranes, and barges are fundamentally the same. To our knowledge, this is the first time these concepts have been presented as a whole, making us pioneers in this field!

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 and track their advancement through each module via a progress bar. Upon completing the course, participants will gain a deep understanding of the practical, operational, and engineering aspects of heavy transport and lifting projects.
