COURSE OVERVIEWS
Beginners Workshop
This is a half-day workshop is intended to provide a general introduction to export control for those who are new to the subject or who only require a broad overview. This workshop is held approximately 8 times a year, at regional venues as well as in London.
Intermediate Seminar
This is a full day event comprising a series of formal presentations. It is aimed at those who already have a basic knowledge of the controls and/or those who only require a broad overview. This workshop is held approximately 8 times a year, at regional venues as well as in London.
Note: Although Beginners and Intermediate events are held on consecutive days at a particular venue we do not recommend attendance at both as the material covered is similar and their is a necessary degree of repetition. The intermediate course covers the same information as the beginners but goes into more detail on each topic. We recommend you think about what you need to achieve from the course before deciding which level is best suited.
Making Better Licence Applications
On this half-day workshop, attendees will be taken step-by-step through the licence application process on SPIRE. These workshops are held in London at approximately 6 week intervals.
Advanced - Control List Classification and Use of the Checker Tools
This is a full-day workshop. The objective is to give attendees confidence in identifying control list entries that specify their products. It is aimed at those who already have some knowledge of the rating process - those who are not very familiar with export controls would benefit from attending a more general course first.
