Fuel Trading Training Built
to Help You Close Deals
Every lesson is based on real fuel deals and the steps professionals actually follow to complete them, from the first conversation to payment and delivery.
Real-Deal Focus
Lessons come from live fuel deals, not textbook models. Each idea is tied to how a real EN590 diesel, Jet A1 or CST180 cargo is offered, checked and closed.
Professional-Standard Methods
Learn the checks and routines used by trading desks, refineries and brokers: mandate checks, bank instruments such as letters of credit, and bank-to-bank messages such as MT799.
A Clear Step-by-Step Path
See the whole deal from first contact to final delivery, so you always know where you stand and what comes next.
Trade Documents Made Simple
Understand the documents every deal depends on: the soft corporate offer (SCO), irrevocable corporate purchase order (ICPO), letter of intent (LOI), proof of funds (POF), letter of credit (LC) and MT799 bank message. You get real templates and guidance on when to use each one.
Scam Awareness Built In
Spot the red flags, fake documents and pressure tactics that cost newcomers money, and learn how to check a seller or buyer before you commit.
Up to Date With the Market
Stay current with changing trade practice, including sustainable aviation fuel, green fuel rules and the move to digital documents.
Built From Real Frustration.
Designed to Solve It.
Hyvnd Academy of Excellence (say it as “High Wind”) did not begin because someone wanted to teach. It began because too many capable people were losing years chasing fuel deals they had no clear way to close.
Our founder spent more than 20 years in the global fuel trade and watched the same story repeat: smart, ambitious people entering the market with no honest guidance, losing time to fake mandates and unreliable brokers, and chasing deals that went nowhere because nobody had shown them the real process.
Many courses in this space are taught by people who have never closed a deal. They share theory but no working method. Hyvnd Academy was built differently.
Every course, template and checklist here comes from deals that were actually carried out , not guessed at. The lessons are practical and in plain language, taking you from confusion to clear, confident action.
Today we train fuel traders, brokers, buyers and business owners in more than 20 countries, and they all learn the same lesson: success in fuel trade comes from structure, not luck.
If you have ever felt like an outsider in global fuel trade, this academy was built for you. We will not sell you dreams. We will show you the real process the industry should have taught you from day one.

Real Outcomes.
Hear from professionals who applied the methods, worked on real deals and built their place in international trade through Hyvnd Academy.
Before this program I had been trying to close fuel deals for over a year with no results. Within 8 weeks of applying the frameworks here, I had my first verified mandate in place and a real buyer engaged. The document training alone was worth every dollar.
The private mentorship was a completely different experience from any course I have taken. I was working on a real deal structure with direct feedback at every step. The instructor's depth of knowledge in institutional trade is unmatched — I came in confused and left with a fully structured deal process and the confidence to execute it.
Foundations finally made the EN590 process make sense. It cut through the noise and gave me a structured baseline to work from.
Answers to Your
Most Common Questions
Straight answers to what people ask most before they start, from how to begin trading fuel to what an ICPO is and how to avoid scams.
No. The programs take you from the basics to real deal skills, whether you are entering fuel trade for the first time or have worked in the market for years without closing a deal. We start where you are and build from there.
Start by learning how a deal works from first offer to delivery: who the buyers, sellers, brokers and refineries are, which documents each side uses, and how payment is secured. Many beginners skip this step and end up chasing offers that are not real. The Foundation Program covers exactly this, and you can move on to mentorship when you are ready to work on real deals.
An oil trader buys and sells fuel cargoes, while a fuel broker connects buyers and sellers and usually earns a commission when a deal closes. To do it well you need to understand the products, the documents, how banks and payments work, and how to check who you are dealing with. Our courses teach these steps in order, and the mentorship helps you apply them to your own deals.
Yes. You get templates for the SCO, ICPO, LOI, RWA, POF and mandate structures, plus guidance on how to read, complete and send each one, in what order, and what to look for when a counterparty sends one to you.
Course access includes the learning materials and document resources. If you want ongoing help, the Private Mentorship Program is available separately, with real deal reviews, live guidance sessions and one-to-one coaching as you move into active trading.
ICPO stands for irrevocable corporate purchase order. It is a buyer’s written commitment to buy a stated fuel, quantity and price, usually sent after the seller’s offer (the SCO). On its own it does not prove the buyer can pay, which is why sellers also ask for proof of funds. Knowing the meaning of ICPO, and what it does not prove, saves you from deals that go nowhere.
Proof of funds is evidence, usually a proof of funds letter from bank officers or a verification of funds letter, from the buyer’s bank that the money is there to pay for the cargo. Serious sellers check it directly with the bank rather than trusting a copy, and banks often confirm it with a bank-to-bank message such as MT799. A document you cannot verify is a warning sign.
A letter of credit (LC) is a bank’s promise to pay the seller once the agreed documents are presented. A standby letter of credit (SBLC) works differently. The SBLC meaning is simple: it is a backup promise, so the bank pays only if the buyer fails to pay. Both reduce risk, so it pays to know which one a deal actually needs.
Both are kerosene-type aviation fuels. Jet A1 has a lower freezing point, about minus 47°C compared with minus 40°C for Jet A, so it is the standard fuel for international flights. Jet A is mainly used within the United States.
EN590 is the European standard for road diesel. Diesel fuel EN590 10ppm is an ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), with sulphur limited to 10 parts per million. CST180 is a heavy fuel oil grade named for its thickness (180 centistokes), used mainly as bunker fuel for ships and in industrial plants. They are two products you will see offered often, and each has its own specifications and paperwork.
SAF is jet fuel made from sources such as used cooking oil, waste fats and other renewable feedstocks, and it is blended with regular jet fuel to cut aviation emissions. Governments in the US, EU and UK support it through tax credits such as the US 45Z credit and blending mandates. The rules change often, so check each one at its official source before you rely on it.
Be careful with offers far below the market price, sellers who ask for fees before showing verified documents, and anyone who will not let you check their mandate or bank details directly. Real deals can be checked step by step. Our courses teach a simple due-diligence routine so you can verify a seller or buyer before you spend any money.
Yes. The deal steps are global, and the course also covers US specifics: ULSD and Jet A specifications, US Gulf Coast exports, NY Harbor and Gulf Coast price benchmarks, OFAC screening and how US banks handle letters of credit and proof of funds.
US ultra low sulfur diesel is limited to 15 ppm sulfur under ASTM D975. EN590 10ppm is the European standard with a 10 ppm limit and its own density and cetane rules. The contract specification decides which one is delivered.
