Job description

Teach live online classes for logistics staff on using AI with customs classification, shipment exceptions and the updates customers need. You teach in English from a ready class kit, remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn holds live classes on using AI in your own work. Your classes take logistics teams from product descriptions to customs codes, and from a week of late and damaged shipments to customer updates and a root-cause report, and teach them to check every code against the tariff text and every update against tracking data.

The work

• Teach the live class “Suggest customs codes from product descriptions and check them against the tariff”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Turn a week of shipment exceptions into customer updates and a root-cause report”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how AI suggests HS codes from a product description, and how to check each one in the tariff schedule, the section and chapter notes and existing rulings.
• Walk learners through a week of sample exception data: group delays and damage by cause, lane and carrier, and draft honest updates for the customers affected.
• Help learners whose product descriptions are too vague to classify, or whose updates promise delivery times the tracking data cannot support.

What to expect

• Classes run live online in English for logistics teams worldwide, and the application asks which other languages you could teach in as well.
• The kit for each class has a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo on sample shipment data and a backup recording of the demo.
• You teach remotely, from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and a spreadsheet to demo the exception data.
• You pass each class's instructor test before teaching it for the first time.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• A classification check, exception report or customer update you produced with AI in logistics work, that you can show without customer names.
• Experience training warehouse, freight or customs staff, or running workshops for operations teams.
• Patience with operations people who work in shifts and want answers they can use on the next shipment.

You need

• You work or have worked in logistics, freight forwarding, customs or supply chain operations and use AI in that work.
• Hands‑on experience with customs classification or shipment exception handling.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• If your employer has to approve outside work under your contract, get that approval before you accept an assignment.
• Class demand decides how much teaching you get, and each invitation states the time commitment.
• Applying costs nothing; you need not buy or take a YPAI Learn course.
