All programmes are designed to provide the maximum benefit to companies concerned with the financial challenges of trading overseas. Our specialist import and export training courses cover the topics of Letters of Credit and Incoterms® 2020.

Your bank will provide excellent products to manage international trade risks, but is likely to fall short when it comes to practical import and export training. We fill the knowledge gaps, developing the procedural skills and risk awareness of your key people.

The following topics are covered in our range of import & export training courses:

• How to use Letters of Credit to your advantage as importer or exporter
• A Practical Guide to the Incoterms® 2020 Rules
• Managing international trade risks and costs
• Understanding and managing trade cash flows
• Preparing a business case for funding from your bank

Our Letters of Credit and Incoterms® 2020 training courses are appropriate for both importers and exporters. We specialise in focused import and export training for individuals, small and larger groups of up to ten people. We believe that our clients gain maximum value from import and export training tailored to the needs of their businesses, so we create examples and case studies that are relevant to your team. No other provider of training in our specialist topics in the UK or Europe offers this level of service.
