Course overview

Understand and navigate complex export regulations, mitigating risk and improving efficiency for your business.

Export controls and compliance regulations have become increasingly complex due to evolving UK and international trade laws, heightened security concerns, and geopolitical shifts. Businesses involved in global trade must ensure they adhere to UK customs procedures, export licensing requirements, and classification protocols to avoid financial penalties, shipment delays, and reputational damage.

Our Level 3: Export Controls Award offers a solution.

  • As a learner, gain the skills required to manage export controls within your organisation.
  • As a manager, embed capability into your export controls teams.
