Through my membership of the Chartered Institute – an organisation dedicated to supporting those who work in exporting and importing – I have access to expertise and industry best-practice vital to keep me and my business informed and operating at the top of our game.
The challenge within this profession is staying on top of ever-changing legislation and regulations. The Chartered Institute is an excellent partner, not just for training courses, but also by providing helpful tools like webinars and special interest groups.
Friendly and knowledgeable trainer. Any questions asked the tutor answered, and if not known, they asked colleagues and answers were provided. Course contained a lot of information and very thorough in everything covered.
The tutor was very lovely, she explained everything clearly. Particularly when discussing the composite export health certificates, which is a bit more complicated, so very helpful! The course was well structured and allowed for questions in between so was at a good pace!
Studying with the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade has been valuable in increasing my knowledge and understanding of the complexities of international trade.
Modules cover all important aspects of trading internationally and cover key facts in detail while putting them into context using real-life examples. These are qualifications that employers recognise and value and obtaining these qualifications has greatly assisted my career.
The Advanced Certificate in International Trade qualification has been a great platform in order for me to enhance my skills and update my knowledge. This has been incredibly important for maintaining my credibility for assisting and supporting our companies with their international ambitions.
The onsite health check went exceptionally well, I was amazed at how open, honest, and frank the Westmill staff were. I know that if we had gone with one of the big 4, the outcome would have been very different. The consultant made all involved feel comfortable and able to express their thoughts and concerns without holding back.
