Convincing results

Each year, several hundred specialist and management personnel take advantage of the IAW course offerings for selective advanced training and qualification. This is how seminar participants have appraised our services:

Tino Grekun, System administrator for Fiege Logistik, Germany”Through the training at IAW, I gained expanded technical knowledge and a greater understanding for ware-house logistics. This qualified me for the independent administration of our WMS today. For example, I am able to implement new customers on my own and also rectify a great many faults, such as deadline delays or false deliveries, without support.“

Nicole Malchow, Administrator, Goods receiving at Supply Chain Logistic (SCL)”As a new Administrator in the area of goods receiving, the warehouse logistics processes were unfamiliar. Through the two-day IAW seminars, I can now fulfil the work requirements completely and without problems or a lengthy familiarisation period.“

Stefan Loder, IT Project Delivery, DHL EXEL SUPPLY CHAIN”The teaching staff is very professional and deals with each participant on an individual basis. Existing knowledge gaps were bridged in a professional and practical manner. The knowledge gain in the seminar has simplified my daily work tasks considerably.”
