Description
The ITOPS qualification is a practical and relevant qualification designed to prove that candidates have the necessary skills to accurately operate the administration procedures in an international trade administration environment.

Delegates will learn how to avoid costly mistakes and improve their international trade procedures. Some previous delegates have saved their employers thousands of pounds. Successful candidates will be awarded the ITOPS Qualification.

Course Delivery
ITOPS is a recognised International Trade Qualification covering the main elements of Export Administration. The course runs over eight separate workshops, followed by an assessment. This course is now BCC accredited and successful candidates will receive the BCC Foundation Award in International Trade.

Delegates attend eight formal training workshops - An on-line assessment takes place approximately one month after the tuition ends. The evidence is then Internally Verified by an experienced assessor at the Chamber who decides if the required standards have been met.

Candidates have the opportunity to attend an airport visit at the East Midlands Airport. Although optional, the feedback from this visit has proved that the experience is an invaluable part of the qualification.
