Career development for tomorrow's professional managers of port and harbour facilities

Ports continue to play a vital role in the movement of goods around the world. There is still considerable belief in the strong basis of the global economy and it remains that transport and ports will continue to be an essential part of the supply chain. Ports are increasingly challenged by the requirements of balancing accountability and responsibility against the necessities of competing for business.

These changes will need competent and highly trained managers and this specially developed distance learning course by the North West Kent College provides the underpinning knowledge to enable port management professionals to meet their day-to-day challenges.

Studying Port Management by distance learning gives you the opportunity to apply knowledge as you gain it, without disruption or time away from your work. It is delivered through a proven flexible method with student support available online, via the course team and at the two optional seminars.
