Cargo module - this module introduces the main types of cargo, physical characteristics and highlights what can go wrong.
Transport module - this module looks at how cargo is transported, the main types of equipment used, forces and stresses encountered during transport and route considerations.
Packing module - this module looks at the preparation and inspection of the CTU prior to packing, planning how to pack the CTU, manual and mechanical handling considerations, the packing process, securing materials, basic principles for packing and securing, closing the CTU and CTU security, documenting the shipment and insurance considerations.
