e-Transport - Road transport costing & transport procurement

The Road Transport Costing module provides a thorough understanding of the complete cost structure of road transport. Participants learn how vehicle costs are built from fixed time-related costs, such as depreciation, insurance and driver allowances, and variable distance-related costs, such as fuel, tyre wear and tolls. Practical methods cover accurate calculation of chargeable distances, operating times and volumetric charging measures such as loading metres, and how to use them in concrete quotation approaches. The Transport Procurement module explores strategic and tactical outsourcing decisions. Participants examine the development of logistics services from 1PL to 4PL, the make-or-buy decision and preparation of a robust procurement plan. The entire tendering process is covered, from thorough internal and external analysis and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to KPI-based management and objective supplier evaluation.

e-Transport - Loading/unloading techniques & load securing (road transport)

This practical course provides a thorough grounding in the technical, operational and legal aspects of road freight transport. You will learn to organise transport safely and efficiently, from using advanced loading and unloading equipment to packing, stowing and securing goods correctly. You will also gain a clear understanding of the relevant legislation, liability and preventive action plans to avoid damage, fines and accidents.

e-Transport - Driving & rest periods in road transport

This e-learning module provides an up-to-date overview of legislation on driving and rest periods, including Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, AETR and the Mobility Package.

e-Transport - Road transport documents & permits + CMR & TIR conventions

The Road Transport Documents and Permits module covers all mandatory driver and on-board documents, transport licences, cargo documents and certificates for road transport. The CMR & TIR Conventions module focuses on international road-transport conventions, the liability of the parties involved and the use of the paper and electronic CMR consignment note. It also explains how the TIR carnet and customs seals work, and the transition to e-TIR for cross-border transit transport.

e-Transport - Vehicle types & legal aspects (road transport)

The Types of Road Transport Vehicles module provides a thorough overview of vehicle types, configurations and their specific uses in professional freight transport. Participants learn to distinguish between rigid trucks, towed equipment and complex combinations such as longer and heavier vehicles (LZVs/Ecocombis). The Legal Aspects of Road Transport module focuses on the regulatory framework essential to safe, compliant transport operations. It covers statutory maximum dimensions and masses (MTM), axle-load and load-distribution standards, preparing correct load plans using the LIFO principle, and preventing overloading and the associated penalties.

e-Transport - Multimodal & Intermodal transport: concepts & solutions

In this practical e-learning module, you will learn to build and optimise logistics chains and transport networks using combined, intermodal and synchromodal solutions. You will gain a thorough understanding of the legal framework and terminology, the characteristics of different intermodal transport units (ITUs such as containers, swap bodies and semi-trailers), and the physical operation of transshipment points, terminals and seaports. You will also explore the strategic design of continental and intercontinental transport networks and learn to structure complex network flows. Finally, you will develop practical skills in cost and risk analysis, including modal-shift and route calculations, enabling you to make informed trade-off decisions for your organisation.

e-Transport - The life cycle of a shipment

This e-learning module provides an in-depth, practical analysis of the entire life cycle of a shipment, from the initial commercial agreement to final administrative closure and quality review. Participants discover how physical, administrative and data flows come together in a structured process of ten chronological steps, taking account of five crucial transport dimensions: distance, time, cost, risk and information. The course covers the selection and classification of cargo, packaging and load units such as pallets and containers, the choice of the best transport mode, and collaboration with logistics partners. It also explores transport documentation, port and customs-clearance procedures such as PN/TS and Certified Pick up, current tracking technologies including IoT, RFID and Blockchain, and effective KPIs and vendor-rating systems for continuous process optimisation.

e-Transport - Incoterms 2020 & transport insurance

This e-learning module explores how Incoterms 2020 and transport insurance work together to manage logistics and financial risks in international trade. It explains how Incoterms allocate tasks and costs, define the critical point at which risk transfers between buyer and seller, and affect the logistics chain directly. The module also covers the essentials of transport insurance, from the difference between limited carrier liability under international conventions such as CMR and Hague-Visby and all-risks cargo insurance, to handling claims correctly, general average and selecting the right policy type for your organisation.
