Certificate or diploma courses in logistics, transportation and freight business can be helpful. Institutes like the British International Freight Association (BIFA) and Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport offer courses for professionals in the industry and for qualified people looking for professional training.

You can also get into the business without these qualifications. You will benefit from office management and administration experience, computer skills, foreign language skills and more. Some recruiters will look for qualifications like four GCSEs (A-C) including English and maths.

You can also gain experience in the industry by opting for apprenticeship opportunities, which are available in bigger cities. You will also gain most of the experience and skills while you are on the job.
