This will be where you can get the information that pertains to the seminar you registered for.  When the seminar is complete, you will be able to view and print your certificate from here as well as take an optional exam to earn a ‘graded’ Certificate of Completion in addition to your attendance certificate.  You will also earn a digital badge which you can share on your social networking accounts and your HR department to update your skills and accomplishments. Dress code is business casual and we recommend taking a light jacket or sweater in case the meeting room is cold. Sign-in starts at 8:00 AM and class starts at 8:30 AM.

Helpful tips and resources before you attend

You may be very new to this area in trade compliance and may require a little helping hand in understanding the subject matter before you attend the full class.

We offer a Basics class for this course on our e-Learning platform.  It is a short 1 hour class that is broken up into several lessons and allows you to take the class at your own pace.  Each lesson is followed up by a short evaluation to determine how well you learned the material.  This gives you the opportunity to view the video and information over again and move on to the next lessons.  There is a final exam that will test your knowledge and primarily serves to help you prepare for the full class.

We offer a 25% discount if you wish to sign up for that class. More information is provided here: ****on-demand class link****

Do you know the terminology that will likely be covered during the class?  We have a page that you can access with many of the terms and definitions used in International Trade and Customs.  Please visit that page here:  ****link here****
