Registrations to Study with the Institute in 2024/25 is now OPEN

THE INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED SHIPBROKERS (IRELAND)
is pleased to offer classes towards the following Courses in 2024/25:

FOUNDATION DIPLOMA IN SHIPPING (FD)
ADVANCED DIPLOMA IN SHIPPING (AD)
PROFESSIONAL QUALIFYING EXAMINATIONS (PQE).

These courses are suitable for all those involved in the world of shipping e.g. liner trades, port agency, transport, freight forwarding, port operations and shipping finance.

The Foundation Diploma is principally intended for those new to the Industry. The Advanced Diploma is intended for those who have some basic knowledge of shipping but who feel at the initial stage that the PQE is too much for them to undertake. The Professional Qualifying Examinations are undertaken by those who wish to become Members of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers.

The Foundation Diploma Course covers Introduction to Shipping and a choice of Port Agency, Port & Terminal Management, Liner Trades, or Economics of Sea Transport whilst the Advanced Diploma covers Shipping Business and either Port Agency, Port & Terminal Management, Liner Trades, or Economics of Sea Transport. Those who wish to take the Professional Qualifying Examinations can take any of the above courses, as well as Legal Principles in Shipping Business as part of their qualification. These Courses receive support from the Irish Maritime Development Office (IMDO).

Bursaries to cover the lecture fees will be made available to a limited number of students. To apply, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
