Every Professional Needs A High Quality Education
Every Business Needs to Comply & Wants to Save Costs - The Only Way Is To Invest In High-Quality Education
When dealing with Customs authorities, any business or organisation requires competent and well-educated professionals to ensure that goods move seamlessly across borders directly, that costs are kept to a minimum and that compliance with national, global and foreign laws is ensured. Therefore, all individuals involved in customs and global trade are expected to have acquired a certain level of proficiency level to do a job well.
We Develop Compencies
Just teaching "Knowledge" is not enough
Anyone can deliver "knowledge". But just knowing does not make sure that processes and procedures are developed and applied in a compliant, efficient and effective manner. So, we do things differently. Instead, we develop the competencies needed to comply better and save more, ultimately allowing enterprises to trade faster. If you would like for your staff to develop real competencies and not just "knowledge", select our Diploma for Customs Competencies.
Approved & Validated Skills For Success in Customs
Discover why we base your education and training on the EU Customs Competencies Framework.
Our Diploma in Customs Competencies is modelled on the EU Customs Competency Framework. This framework has been designed by Customs Authorities, Education and Trading Experts, Customs Law Specialists and EU Customs Policy and Lawmakers. It lists the competencies that the EU believes are needed for every customs professional to trade compliantly, effectively and efficiently. We agree - so we have turned this Framework into a complete Education. This ensures that students develop approved and validated customs competencies, based on an industry-leading curriculum.
We develop Leaders in Customs
Learn why we are the best choice for professionals wishing to become customs experts and future leaders - a Win-Win for employees and the business alike.
Our Diploma takes a different approach than other education providers, who are primarily focused on the supply of operational knowledge, like customs classification or origin.
Our Diploma in Customs Competencies emphasises the development of critical thinking abilities, too. Our objective is to equip individual customs professionals with the skills and resources essential to career success. Accordingly, we believe that operational skills such as customs classification, value, and origin are insufficient to fulfil the role of a customs specialist or manager.
In practically all situations, it is advised that these skills be supplemented with other competencies, such as professional or management competencies, to ensure the success of the customs professional.
In light of this, we have designed a curriculum that gives a complete approach to developing managerial skills. This strategy will benefit both the individual customs manager and the sponsoring company as we develop well-rounded customs specialists, showcasing fundamental customs core values daily and with a high degree of managerial, professional and operational competence.
Your Education - Your Way
Students design their own Pathway to the Diploma - based on their business needs.
Customs are very diverse, and what works for one participant may not be suitable for another. Therefore, it is appropriate to offer a flexible way to obtain the Diploma rather than forcing the student to learn about a subject less relevant to the current work. To graduate, students must design their way through the modules, fulfilling all mandatory requirements. Once completed, students can add the elective module, “Focus Area”, to fit company requirements.
