Questions and answers
Are you running the beginner course thanks
Answer:Hi No I am afraid we do not do a beginners course in Freight Transport Operations. However, we are currently running a special offer whereby you can get free access to our learning materials (with no tutor) and there is a unit in the Level 1 Award in Logistics and Transport, which is called Transport and Distribution in Logistics. You can get free access to this and it might serve you well.
