Our Approach

How we train

We learn best by doing

NAFL is well placed in the UAE to deliver its diploma programme using the full range of training methods. Traditional classroom ‘chalk and talk’ is minimised in favour of practical exercises, case studies and visits to see actual operations at work.

Visits to real operations

Training includes field visits to major UAE logistics hubs — Jebel Ali Free Zone for third-party logistics and warehousing, Port Rashid, and Dubai Airport with its dedicated freighter aircraft and cold-chain and flower-auction facilities.

Learn from practitioners

Sessions are facilitated by experienced industry practitioners, giving students direct access to a substantial store of real-world experience and knowledge from professionals working in freight and logistics.

Knowledge that sticks

Every session includes confirmation exercises so students can test the knowledge acquired to date. Practical exercises and multi-choice questionnaires demonstrate progress and maximise retention.

Comprehensive course material

Each session is supported by extensive course notes and written hand-outs, with continuous references to published industry manuals and standards for ongoing study.

Accredited & affiliated

NAFL delivers IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) training from Category 1 to 6, and is affiliated with FIATA, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations.
