Milestone year for Fiata graduates

For the first time in 10 years, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (Fiata) diploma in freight forwarding has been awarded to 12 South African students. The graduates are currently employed by member companies and interestingly, all but one started their careers in the freight forwarding industry as ‘unemployed learners’. They were encouraged to complete the Level 4, National Diploma in Freight Forwarding and Customs Compliance (Advanced), said Tony D’Almeida, Saaff’s director of training, after successfully completing their initial, Level 3 National Certificate in Freight Forwarding and Customs Compliance (Advanced).
