Read what our participants have learnt from this course and the feedback from their supervisors …
Highly appreciated all the lecturers of the course, under their guidance and experience sharing, ultimately have led us to the success. Definitely, this including all my classmate, as we all brainstorm and learn from each other during the class and assignment.
The course is designed for application driven and drive the students to solve the problems instead of theoretically study, which is more practical for the working operations and help to improve the ability of the students.

Ng Gim Guan, Graduate of Advanced Diploma in Supply Chain Management, R28/04-2014
I am glad that I have attended my Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses with TLA. Through the courses, I have better understanding on how forwarders and 3PLs operate. This helps me in carrying out my job more smoothly. I am able to pre-empt the possible problems that I may face for each shipment and work together with the service providers to minimize disruptions to the shipments.
