Fast-Track Your Global Trade Expertise with the Foundation Award

In today’s fast-paced global economy, having a solid understanding of international trade is more important than ever. The Foundation Award, a nationally recognised Certificate in International Trade accredited by the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), offers professionals the opportunity to build essential knowledge and practical skills across key areas of global commerce.

Our Express International Trade Certificate programme takes this one step further condensing six accredited modules into an intensive three-day course. Designed for efficiency without compromising depth, the programme equips participants with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of international trade, avoid costly mistakes, and remain compliant with HMRC procedures.

Across the three days, delegates explore core topics including:

- Introduction to exporting,

- Incoterms 2020,

- export documentation,

- customs procedures,

- rules of origin,

- import processes

Each module concludes with an assessment, ensuring participants leave with both confidence and a recognised qualification.

This programme is suitable for individuals at all stages of their careers. Whether you are new to international trade or an experienced professional looking to refresh your knowledge, the course content is relevant across departments from logistics and sales to purchasing and finance. It also serves as an excellent onboarding tool for new team members entering global trade roles.

We are also pleased to celebrate the success of last year’s cohort, yesterday, certificates were awarded by Paul Wrighting, National Trade Services Manager at the British Chamber of Commerce to candidates who successfully completed the programme, recognising their achievement and commitment to professional development.

If you're ready to enhance your international trade expertise and gain a respected industry qualification in just three days, join us on our next session on the 21st-23rd April. You can make your booking or find more information by emailing international@gmchamber.co.uk .
