BIFA supported a group of employers developing a relevant apprenticeship in the Freight Forwarding sector.

The standard for the International Freight Forwarding Specialist Apprenticeship scheme was approved in April 2018.

International Freight Forwarding Specialist

Level 3

Set at Level 3 (A Level) with a minimum duration of 18 months, this apprenticeship provides students with core freight forwarding knowledge and skills including industry awareness, customs procedures and commercial. At the beginning of the programme, apprentices are given one of three pathways – air freight, ocean freight or road freight – to reflect the focus of our member’s operations. Whichever pathway apprentices take, specific knowledge and skills will be acquired in addition to the three mandatory modules.
