Fully funded by the Department for the Economy, the International Transport and Documentation module will be taught virtually over eight weeks commencing February 8 by both Colleges. Successful completion leads to a stand-alone award from which participants can progress to the full Level 3 Certificate in International Trade. It marks a first for the two Colleges who have been accredited to offer qualifications from the Institute of Export in Northern Ireland.

Elaine Flynn from SERC said: “This qualification will be of interest to anyone working in businesses, dealing with international markets and is applicable to a range of sectors from food production to manufacturing. A substantial amount of the course covers Export Documents and Customs Procedures and Documents, ensuring participants are up to speed with new regulations and procedures that have stemmed from Brexit.”
