BIMCO member / non-member

Both BIMCO members and non-members can participate in training courses. BIMCO members are entitled to preferential discount rates and have longer time to request to pay by invoice rather than credit card.

Discounted BIMCO membership rates applicable to office/location

A BIMCO membership only applies to the office/location that has made the application and not automatically all offices worldwide. Therefore, it is only employees in the office/location of the company that is a BIMCO member that can take advantage of the discount rate. Therefore, employees in branches/sister companies that are non-members are not entitled to the member rate, unless the specific office/location takes out a corporate/branch membership. Please contact membership@bimco.org for further details.

Substitution of another named participant can be made free of charge up until the course start date, but we prefer to be informed a.s.a.p. Instructions of how to do this online, will be provided once training@bimco.org have been informed of the name change.

Reservation of seats for unnamed participants

Course fee includes
