Relocation Management Course in Kerala
A 2-month Certified Relocation Management Professional programme: surveys, packing, documentation, international moves and customs.
Relocation is the part of logistics that people feel personally: a family’s furniture, a professional’s belongings moving to Dubai, an office shifting across the city. A relocation management course teaches you how these moves are surveyed, packed, documented, shipped, cleared through customs and delivered without damage or delay. Frontline Academy offers the Certified Relocation Management Professional (CRMP) programme, drawing on Frontline Group’s own relocation operations.

Why relocation is a career worth considering
- A large, growing market. An industry report by Shifting App estimates India’s packers and movers industry at about Rs 90,000 crore in 2025-26, with more than 8.2 million household and commercial moves, and projects 12% to 15% annual growth through 2030.
- Kerala moves internationally. The Kerala Migration Survey 2023 estimated 2.2 million emigrants and 1.8 million return emigrants. Every outbound job, family move and return home can involve international relocation of personal effects.
- Corporate mobility. Companies relocating employees between cities and countries need coordinators who can manage the whole move, not just the truck.
- It is service-led. Relocation rewards communication, planning and care, which suits people who enjoy working with customers.
What a relocation professional actually does
- Pre-move survey: visit or video-survey the home or office, list items, estimate volume and identify special handling needs.
- Quotation and planning: choose the mode (road, sea, air), packing materials, crew size and timeline, and quote accurately.
- Packing: use the right materials and methods for furniture, electronics, glassware, artwork and documents; prepare an inventory.
- Documentation: prepare the packing list, inventory, and origin and destination customs paperwork for international moves.
- Movement: coordinate trucks, containers or air freight, and track the shipment.
- Customs clearance: work with brokers at origin and destination so personal effects are cleared correctly.
- Delivery and unpacking: deliver, unpack, place items, remove debris and close out any claims.
