GMCC announces CPD accreditation for two key Export Training courses

Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce is delighted to announce that two of our core international trade training courses: Export Documentation and UK Certificates of Origin & EUR1 Movement Certificates: Step-by-Step Workshop have now been officially CPD accredited.

This achievement reinforces GMCC’s commitment to providing high-quality, practical training that supports businesses in trading compliantly and confidently in UK and global markets. Delegates attending either course will now gain recognised CPD credits, adding measurable value to their professional development.

Both courses focus on one of the most critical areas of international trade: getting export documentation right first time. Errors in documentation can lead to costly delays, rejected shipments, and fines, making expert knowledge essential for businesses of all sizes.

The Export Documentation course provides a comprehensive overview of export paperwork, helping delegates understand the purpose of key documents, how to complete them accurately, and how to remain compliant with customs and regulatory requirements. The course is accredited by the British Chambers of Commerce and provides one credit towards the nationally recognised Foundation Award in International Trade, with training notes supplied to support ongoing learning. To view course dates and book your place, visit the training course page here.

Alongside this, the UK Certificates of Origin & EUR1 Movement Certificates: Step-by-Step Workshop offers a practical, box-by-box walkthrough of UK Certificates of Origin, a document issued by Chambers of Commerce and essential for many exports. The workshop highlights common errors, explains strict completion rules, and gives delegates the confidence to apply for and complete certificates correctly, reducing the risk of delays and additional costs. For upcoming dates and booking information, visit the workshop page on here.

Why CPD Accreditation Matters

CPD accreditation confirms that both courses meet recognised professional standards and support continuous professional development. By attending, delegates benefit from:

• Recognised CPD credits

• Improved compliance and reduced export risk

• Greater confidence in handling export documentation

• Practical knowledge that can save time and money

  
  

Whether you are new to exporting, expanding into new markets, or looking to refresh existing knowledge, these CPD-accredited GMCC courses provide essential skills to support successful international trade.
