About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Export licensing systems are used to prevent goods from ending up in “the wrong hands” when they are exported. Under existing UK and non-UK legislation, exporters are responsible for ensuring that their goods, software, or technologies, are not unwittingly breaching any export controls when shipped or transferred intangibly abroad.

Whether you are new to export licensing, or you already have experience of export controls but need refresher training – this course is for you!

Attend this workshop and learn how to establish the need for licences, types of licences available, application procedures and compliance in the use of licences. Learn how to be more compliant with export controls legislation as part of your commitment to being a responsible exporter.

Organised by

As the pace of business life increases and knowledge quickly becomes stale, organisations are beginning to re-evaluate the way they look at training and developing their staff. More importers and exporters are seeing the value of aligning their choice of training with strategic organisational objectives and our best-selling training model has been designed in response to this.

Online Training

Online training is an evolving trend that is proving incredibly popular with businesses. The benefits to business speak for themselves:

  • Participants don't have to be in the same place
  • No travel costs, attend from anywhere in the world
  • Time-efficient, with no travel time to a venue
  • More stimulating compared to chalk and talk classroom sessions

Our online courses and seminars are taught live by our experienced, certified trainers, and are fully interactive (not “one-way” webinars). Join us to deepen your import/export know-how, find the right answers to niggling questions, and learn best practice.
