Course description
Learning Pathway: Customs Declarations Specialists
The Customs Declaration Specialists Learning Pathway will take the learner from understanding the key areas of customs procedures through to practical application, so they are able to submit customs declarations in the UK. There are 4 mandatory modules providing a recognised professional accredited award qualification, 3 optional, topic specific modules and a minimum of 4 additional self-study resources to assist the learner in understanding the potentially complicated environment of creating and submitting customs declarations. There is the opportunity to skip the beginner element by demonstrating knowledge gained previously in other training sessions or by practical experience.
Our education support team includes subject matter experts who are current practitioners in these areas, 6 of whom are qualified teachers, making our guided learning educationally structured, practical, and relevant to today’s international trade business environment.
