Cargo · Logistics · Documentation · DGR Awareness
Air cargo is the backbone of global trade — moving goods worth billions of dollars every day. This programme trains you to operate inside that system: handling shipments, processing documentation, applying safety compliance, and contributing to the logistics chain that keeps the world moving.
This programme provides structured, practical training in how cargo moves through the aviation system — from acceptance and documentation to handling, safety compliance, and delivery. You will develop a working understanding of airline cargo operations, freight systems, and international aviation regulations.
Unlike theoretical aviation courses, this programme is built around real operational workflows — the same processes used by cargo agents, ground handlers, and logistics professionals working at airports and freight terminals today.
Cargo Operations is Pillar 3 of the M.A.P Mebban Accelerated Program — integrated alongside cabin crew, customer service, business, and digital skills into one 12-week career accelerator. This standalone course earns its own certificate.
Cargo is one of the most stable and technically rigorous careers in aviation — and one of the least competed for by graduates.
Air cargo supports international trade, e-commerce, pharmaceutical logistics, and perishable goods — sectors that never stop growing. Kenya is a major hub for East African air freight.
Less saturated than passenger-facing aviation roles. Cargo professionals with documentation and compliance skills are consistently sought after by airlines, ground handlers, and freight forwarders.
Develop structured, process-driven competencies — Air Waybill accuracy, DGR classification, cargo security — that are valued across aviation, logistics, and supply chain industries globally.
Applicable across airlines, airports, freight forwarding companies, courier services, logistics firms, and import/export operations. One skill set, multiple career doors.
Every module is delivered through classroom instruction, practical simulations, and assessed application — building competence that translates directly to operational roles.
A four-phase model that takes you from industry awareness through to operational competence and assessed readiness for employment.
