Shipping and Commodity Operation Certificate

The first step to become a trader

The only (100% online + on your schedule) course that teaches you how to move commodities around the world.

Imagine waking up, a bit jet-lagged by your last visit to a supplier. You prepare your coffee while checking your last messages. Your client confirmed your last offer and the market is moving in the right direction.

You smell your coffee while mentally counting your P&L. You’ve made money.

Today is going to be a good day.

This is what a trader experiences and you can too !

But before carrying on, I need to warn you: you want to get in one of the most competitive industries there is… The big companies out there receive more than 1000 CV per openings.

How do I make my resume stand out?
How do I show my willingness to do the extra step?
How do I outsmart the other contenders?
How do I put myself in a position to succeed?

This course is designed to give you the tools you need to succeed in your job hunt.

The shipping and commodity operation course will teach you how to move any kind of commodities from anywhere to anywhere. With that knowledge, you will be able to ace job interviews and finally break in the most exciting and secretive industry that exists!

I already see some of you objecting: HEY! I want to be a trader… I need to know how to trade! Not how to move commodities!

This is where you are soooooo wrong my friend. Learning how to move commodities is the skill traders need to master. Skipping this phase would lead to a big hole in your education and may prevent you from achieving your career goal.

Furthermore, put yourself in the employer shoes: who you would rather add to your payroll? The professional you need to build from scratch or the one with the basics assimilated? Commodity and shipping businesses are not for the faint-hearted. It’s a fast pace, high pressure, money-driven environment and if you don’t feel up to it – stop reading here.

The course is constructed around 5 modules containing 3 to 8 lessons. Each lesson includes a video of 10min to 45min with downloadable support materials. At the end of each lesson, you will be tested through a multiple-choice questionnaire in order to make sure you understood the core principle.

In term of timing, you have 4 months to finish the 5 modules, which should be enough time as 1 hour a day would allow you to complete the certificate in 5 weeks.
