The British International Freight Association (BIFA) is offering all-inclusive access to a range of bitesize eLearning courses.
This initiative is designed to provide full trading members with unlimited access to eLearning, giving opportunities for them to upskill their teams, and is all part of the membership fee. BIFA Bitesize is a suite of eLearning that has been developed as part of BIFA’s ongoing commitment to provide a variety of training options, aimed at enhancing knowledge in areas critical to freight forwarding, Customs compliance, and international trade.
The first rendition of BIFA Bitesize content features extracts from the existing BIFA Freight Forwarding and Customs Essentials courses. Some of the key topics include: Preparing to Trade; Incoterms 2020; Inward and Outward Processing; Customs Warehousing; Classification; Returned Goods Relief; Paying HMRC, and Procedure Codes.
Additionally, a brand new CDS Compliance course will be added to the platform very soon. The initial mandatory module, centred around an import home-use declaration, outlines potential consequences of compliance errors. Subsequent modules, which cover a range of regimes, will follow.
These courses have been curated to support both newcomers and experienced professionals in the industry. Carl Hobbis, member services director at BIFA, said: “There are no limits on the number of learners per member that can be enrolled, enabling companies of all sizes to provide high-quality, flexible training to their entire teams.”
BIFA Bitesize is accessible via the BIFA member portal at www.bifa.org which provides full details on how to navigate the platform and access the courses.
BIFA continues to offer its highly regarded BTEC qualifications and a range of trainer-led courses. These options are ideal for those seeking more in-depth, accredited learning experiences.
