For the third year in a row, Arpin International Group has earned the Commitment to Excellence Gold Award from FIDI, the largest global alliance of independent quality international removal companies.

Arpin was selected for the award for having its employees worldwide complete industry training at the FIDI Academy, obtaining their FIM Diploma (Foundations of International Moving). Arpin requires all new employees to be FIDI certified.

The FIDI Academy is a leading provider of educational services for the relocation industry. With programs developed specifically for industry professionals, the FIDI Academy is able to offer training tools for all levels of employees from newcomers to leaders.

"We wish to recognise Arpin International Group for not only meeting the FIDI Academy requirements, but also for driving and promoting industry knowledge among their employees around the world," said Chantal Fera, FIDI Academy Manager.

From the more than 600 FIDI-registered companies, only 21 received the Gold Award last year.

Additionally, Arpin International Group's Rhode Island headquarters recently passed its FIDI FAIM 3.1 Compliance Procedure as verified by Ernst & Young. This quality assessment is among the toughest and most strenuous in the household goods forwarding industry.
