Let’s get right to it: what can you expect from Chartwise?

Location

We deliver the FORS FME at our accredited teaching facilities in Team Valley, Gateshead. However, because we receive enquiries from all over the country, and because many requests for this training are urgent, we can often arrange to deliver the training at clients’ premises.

What’s involved?

This training session, delivered over the course of approximately seven hours, meets the M3 criteria of FORS Bronze membership. Bronze is the introductory level of FORS accreditation, and over time a fleet can ascend to Silver and to Gold level membership.

Why should I get FORS FME with Chartwise?

Our trainers are CPC holders with decades of logistics experience between them. They use their own expertise, acquired first-hand through a lifetime in the transport industry, to ensure you know inside and out your responsibilities.

How often should I do the FORS FME?

Because of the ever-moving nature of the road freight sector, it’s vital that a TM is running their office on up-to-date procedures. It’s recommended, therefore, that you complete FORS FME training around every two years.
