Course Delivery

ITOPS is a recognised International Trade Qualification covering the main elements of Export Administration. The course runs over twelve two-hour workshops, followed by an assessment. This course is accredited by the British Chambers of Commerce and successful candidates will receive the BCC Foundation Award in International Trade.

This course covers the critical elements of International Trade procedures to ensure Companies operate to the highest level!

– Administration Procedures
– Export Documentation
– Customs and Excise and other legal requirements
– Export Payments
– Dispatch and Shipping

Delegates complete twelve two-hour formal training workshops – 2 workshops a week for roughly 6 weeks. A formal assessment takes place approximately one month after the tuition ends.

The evidence is then Internally Verified by an experienced assessor at the Chamber who decides if the required standards have been met.

Candidates have the opportunity to attend an airport visit at the DHL East Midlands Hub. Although optional, the feedback from this visit has proved that the experience is an invaluable part of the qualification.

The price includes training for twelve workshops, course folders and printed notes, full trainer support during the course of the programme, final assessment day, portfolio assessment and verification. Successful candidates also receive the BCC Foundation Award in International Trade.
