Training Training Schedule


Changes to BIFA Dangerous Goods Training


Due to COVID-19 and the switch of BIFA skills training from classroom to online, we are changing our administration and promotion of Dangerous Goods (DG) training from 1 January 2021. Cargo Training International (CTI) remains our


partner for the delivery of DG training for BIFA members but bookings will now be made directly with CTI. BIFA will continue to promote DG Training


through its website at https://bifa.org/training/dangerous-goods, linking each certification directly through to the relevant page on CTI’s own website at www.cargotraining.com


In light of current restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic BIFA has suspended all classroom training for Forwarding and Customs courses for the foreseeable future. These have been replaced by live tutor-led sessions carried out via Zoom videoconferencing as listed: LIVE Freight & Customs Procedures courses 2020 training dates – SOLD OUT 2021 dates selling fast!

Support your local Member group


BIFA utilises a network of Regional Consultants around the UK to act as a conduit for the dissemination of information and to seek local Member views on topics of interest. In light of current restrictions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, regional activity has moved online. Forthcoming virtual meetings are listed here. All BIFA Members are entitled and


encouraged to attend their regional meetings. However, pre-booking with the named contact is essential. Full contact details are shown on page 3 of this issue.
