The course gives you a profession from the ground up, and if you already work in inspection, it raises your qualification to the level of independent assignments. By the end of the training you'll be able to oversee the entire grain supply chain and guarantee the client exactly the volume and quality stated in the contract. Your skills will be universal: you'll work with equal confidence at warehouses and elevators, at ports aboard vessels, on the railways with wagons, and in multimodal shipments with containers. And a command of international regulations opens your path to growing into a supervisor or head of an inspection team. This is a profession whose market value only keeps rising.
The program covers everything you'll need in real work and breaks every topic down to specific, practical actions. You'll study international and national inspection and sampling standards, including the requirements of the GAFTA and FOSFA associations. Dedicated modules address vessel inspection with draft surveys, the examination and sealing of containers, sampling during wagon loading, and warehouse stock counting. You'll learn to draw samples correctly — the very thing the accuracy of every subsequent analysis depends on — and to determine moisture, foreign matter, damage, and the presence of pests. Separately, you'll cover quantity control: volume measurement, weight control, and verification of seal integrity. The program concludes with procedures for handling claims and appeals, along with the skill of producing legally valid reports and inspection certificates. This way you gain a complete picture of the profession rather than a set of disconnected techniques.
You learn on an online platform that brings together reference materials, video lessons, and self-check tests. The program is designed for 14–20 academic hours and fits easily into your work schedule — you can study at a comfortable pace. Throughout the course a tutor supports you, ready to answer any question via chat. On completion, you confirm the competencies required for the independent inspection of agricultural products. Just send a request, and we'll select the optimal training format for you.

No. The programme is structured to build a complete set of competencies from the ground up, starting with core concepts and progressing to practical field procedures. If you already work in cargo inspection, the course will help systematise your knowledge and raise your qualification to handle independent assignments.
By the end of the course you will know how to inspect vessels and perform draft surveys, examine and seal containers, draw representative samples during railcar loading, determine moisture, foreign matter, grain damage and pest infestation, verify cargo quantity (volume gauging, weighing supervision, seal checks), tally warehouse stocks, and compile legally valid survey reports and inspection certificates.
The curriculum is built around the international rules of GAFTA (Grain and Feed Trade Association) and FOSFA (Federation of Oils, Seeds and Fats Associations) — the benchmark standards used by the world's leading inspection companies. In parallel, the programme covers national inspection and sampling standards (GOST), making your skills applicable to both domestic trade and international export contracts.
You study on a dedicated online learning platform featuring video lessons, reference guides and self-assessment tests. The format is 100% remote, allowing you to complete the course from anywhere at your own pace without interrupting your work.
