Conclusions

Project health check
This course is meant for those people that are working as a shipper, as project freight forwarder or as carrier and or transport company.
For non-shipper participants, this training will give you a much deeper understanding in the world of the shipper, in how they prepare and work towards a successful project execution as well as for the shipper to learn from the project forwarding and carrier industry all in order to close the gap that has always been there in the communication and planning of heavy lift shipments and capital projects.
Your takeaway will be a much more profound understanding of how and why shippers or freight owners do what they do in an effort to prepare, plan, organize, price, monitor, and execute their heavy lift shipments and capital projects. It will help you in your future dealings as a shipper or in relation with a shipper and all parties involved in Heavy Lift & Projects. You will gain a clearer and open communication and collaboration in favour of project successes.
This course is originally designed as a 2 day course, however it is later shortened to one day.
For the online purpose, the training has been redesigned and chopped into bite-size pieces to make it easy to follow and is easy to take lesson by lesson in your own time.
You could spend 10 to 30 minutes a day and it should not take too long to get all the lessons done and start the exam at the end of the course in order to earn your certificate.

Not less important will be the IT (Information Technology) topic in which it shows you what is out there and what Project Forwarders use, or should use, for the management of their projects. We will also illustrate some systems that some shippers favor.
Documentation and what would be required to understand the processes shippers use internally, but also processes and requirements for practices externally.
Supplier Qualifications processes and requirements and evaluations are a major part of the shipper’s internal process and not always appreciated by its vendors. This process could take a lot of time and the information that is required/requested can be extensive. There could be a cost related to enter the process, or there is a requirement to enter via an external registration company such as Achilles Power & Tech, or other suppliers of information and company background.
Shipping and Project planning, risk and strategy are just a few topics that will be discussed, and you will as well work in teams in a few workshops, so you get a better understanding of the material and know-how.
