SUMMARY:The Brexit Effect and Managing Risk in International Trade
DESCRIPTION:Member price – £250.00 + VAT\nNon-member price – £300.00  + VAT \nDuration: 1 Day \n  \nCourse Overview  \nThis course is designed to give you the most up to date position on Brexit and how this might affect your business\, and to give you some guidance on how to address issues this may raise. Furthermore\, we will explore risk in international trade and how to identify and mitigate this in order to make informed decisions about opportunities for export growth. \n  \nBenefits  \nBy the end of the day\, delegates will have a clear understanding of the latest position on the Brexit negotiations\, and have had the opportunity to assess how this may impact on both their existing international trade and any future export activity. \nGiven that many companies will be reviewing their international trade activity at this time\, it is logical to take a good look at existing and potential risk: from the traditional PESTLE model to some of the more practical issues. Delegates will be able to understand classification of risk\, sources of useful information\, and have some practical guidance on how to assess and prioritise these risks when targeting new export markets. \nUltimately\, information from this course can then be shared\, discussed and developed with colleagues\, and any resulting actions can be incorporated into the company’s wider strategic development. \n

SUMMARY:An Introduction to Export
DESCRIPTION:Member price – £250.00 + VAT\nNon-member price – £300.00 + VAT \nDuration – 1 Day \nCourse Overview  \nIs your company exploring export for the first time\, or perhaps increasing export activity as part of a wider business strategy? There are many positive benefits from selling to international markets\, however there are some essential things you need to understand about the export process in order to do this both profitably and successfully. \nThis full day course covers the key aspects of international trade from a very practical perspective. It is suitable for companies exporting products to overseas markets (it is not relevant for service companies). Everyone within an organisation is involved in the export process in some way\, however those staff who have a greater responsibility for ensuring that goods are suitable for export markets\, shipped correctly and maintaining appropriate records will benefit the most from participation. \n  \n Benefits  \nBy the end of the day\, delegates will have a clear understanding of the key factors which underpin the export process. They will learn about important terminology and both practical and compliance issues for the successful fulfilment of an export sales order. \nThey will leave with comprehensive notes and reference materials\, and\, most importantly\, the confidence that they understand the principles of export and how these impact on both their individual roles and also their company. \n
