In a bid to improve efficiency and build up the profession of clearing and freight forwarding, the Tanzania Freight Forwarders Association (TAFFA) is making final preparations to open own institute. The institute, which would initially offer one-year certificate level training, would commence in mid-next month, according to TAFFA.
TAFFA president Stephen Ngatunga said the students would need to have passed their Ordinary Level of Secondary Education Certificates to qualify for a place at the institute, adding that the aim is to overcome the shortage of qualified personnel in the field.
"We want to impart knowledge of clearing and freight forwarding to young people, the field is important for the development of the nation," said Mr Ngatunga.
He called on qualifying interested young Tanzanians to apply, whereby they can fill online forms through TAFFA website or they can obtain the physical forms from the TAFFA offices located in the Clock Tower building in Dar es Salaam. The institute, which is located in Dar es Salaam, would enroll 70 students in its first intake, but as years pass by, the number would keep increasing and even studies advanced to the diploma and higher levels.
Recently, the Association awarded best Clearing and Freight Forwarding student from the institute of Tax Administration as among the measures to encourage people to pursue the course.
