Each day the student receives a chartering related task by email and needs to complete it. <br /><br />As the tasks are completed we fire questions back and forward to eachother - like a game of tennis. It's a great way to learn. <br /><br />The first 2 students The Virtual Shipbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194680475223774516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301590790606020.post-20547424245137909092010-04-19T02:41:16.972-07:002010-04-19T02:41:16.972-07:00Hello VS,

I bought two of your books and they are very practical and gave me much more insight into the industry. <br /><br />I had a query about the VS mentor program which is mentioned in one of your books. What exactly is this program? I would like to gather some more details about this with regards to cost and entry requirements Badarinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301590790606020.post-70220839650229972892010-04-18T19:54:23.545-07:002010-04-18T19:54:23.545-07:00Suraz - Thats why they call me the Sultan of Shipb...Suraz - Thats why they call me the Sultan of Shipbroking. <br /><br />(ok ive asked my kids to call me that....to no avail)The Virtual Shipbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194680475223774516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301590790606020.post-65858798905723286682010-04-18T19:49:15.764-07:002010-04-18T19:49:15.764-07:00Dear VS,

Depends on where you are and the level of competition. <br /><br />In the major centers i think the starting salary of a trainee should be inline with other graduate trainne salaries in say accounting. EG London around the 20k pound mark. USA around the USD 30k mark. Singapore 2-3 k per month.<br /><br />I am seeing trainees being forced onto commission The Virtual Shipbrokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13194680475223774516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301590790606020.post-62886519631856417542010-04-18T18:12:15.591-07:002010-04-18T18:12:15.591-07:00Hi VS,
