The Level 3 Award in International Transport and Documentation provides learners with an understanding of the import and export order process from original enquiry, supply chain distribution to payment collection.

In addition to considering the role of the freight forwarder and other trade intermediaries, it also covers the main methods of international transport and the documentation used in international trade, as well as the various trade terms and methods of payment.

No formal qualifications are required for this course. All candidates must be 16 years or older to be considered for direct entry to the award.

This course comprises a single module from our Level 3 Certificate in International Trade. This module will provide learners with knowledge of how to list the main elements of the export order process from enquiry to payment collection.

Learners will be able to describe the roles of the main third parties involved in international trade, understand the main elements of an export quotation, proforma invoice, and different types of export invoices including those used to satisfy rules of origin and value.

Learners will be able to identify key factors, including costs, which affect the selection of different international transport modes. They will learn the basic operations of cargo and credit insurance policies and be able to list and explain the operation of the various methods of payment used in international trade.
