Conqueror members can now join freight forwarding courses along with a SOC Container Masterclass
Conqueror has established a partnership with the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association and Container xChange. Due to this agreement, these two internationally recognized associations are now offering members two freight forwarding courses and a SOC Container Masterclass. The objective of this online e-learning platform is to allow agents to upgrade their skills and knowledge base by training their employees. The courses are ideal for both newcomers in the sector and professional forwarders who want to upgrade their know-how and expertise.
Antonio Torres, the President and Founder of Conqueror Freight Network, is proud to present the courses. According to him, “In an industry that is constantly evolving, independent freight forwarders must permanently renovate their knowledge. Additionally, the emerging demands in logistics require further specialization and value-added services in freight forwarding operations. This is why we have created Conqueror’s online academy to help members up-skill their team right from their home or office.”
