The first November exams offered by Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers have successfully come to an end.

Posted on Friday, November 28, 2014 and tagged as Education

In 2014, the Institute's education committee made a decision to hold its examinations twice a year instead of only once and the first November exams offered by Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers have successfully come to an end.

In previous years, exams were held in April. In recent times, they have attracted more than 2,000 students who sat some 6,000 exam papers over a period of two weeks.

Examination details have now been confirmed following the November launch. There were 33 exam centres around the world. Most countries involved had just a single centre. But India had two, South Africa had three and the United Kingdom had eight.

A very encouraging 909 students were due to sit 1,526 papers around the world. Exams in eight subjects were held over four days from 24th to 27th of November. On the Monday, there was Introduction to Shipping and Shipping Business. Tuesday saw Economics of Sea Transportation and International Trade and Legal Principles in Shipping Business. Wednesday attracted candidates for Dry Cargo Chartering and Port Agency. On the final day came Liner Trades and Ship Operations and Management.

A breakdown of the Institute demographics by geographical area is as follows:

Greece                                 459

London                                 141

Dubai (UAE)                                       134

Mumbai                               124

Singapore                            124

Mombasa                              95

Cyprus                                    29

The thirst for both knowledge and qualification by Greece is especially to be welcomed.
