Training course - is this course suitable for you?

Is it for me?

If you have completed either of our beginner’s export or import courses, this would be a great follow on as the next level up.

Our specialised full day course provides a detailed overview of both import and export, all elements that are involved and a summary of what paperwork is needed to be able to complete procedures in a smooth manner. 

If you haven’t completed a beginner’s course previously, but have an insight on the subjects, it would also suit those looking for a fact based course, to expand on existing knowledge of both topics combined.
