Training course - is this course suitable for you?

Is it for me?

The session would be suitable for those working in an export environment but need more guidance on licences and protocol around export controls.

Anyone exporting needs to determine if a license is required for their products, and if so, what type of license. 

Anyone that is involved with licensable products and Dual Use Items would benefit from this half-day session.

If you need guidance on how to apply for licenses, what it means for your shipments and how to follow the correct procedure, this course will suit.
