The Foundation Diploma is designed for those who are either new to the industry, or do not want to take the full professional qualifying examinations necessary for membership of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, but do want to further their knowledge of the shipping industry.
Students need to pass 2 exams for this internationally recognised certificate, one of which must be Introduction to Shipping. The second subject can be selected from the Group 2 subjects shown below.
Having passed the Foundation Diploma students should consider studying for the Advanced Diploma which further develops the knowledge gained from the Foundation Diploma.
