Overview

The Institute of Export & International Trade is an ICC licensed training partner, authorised to provide training on ICC Incoterms®2020.

Incoterms® comprise some of the most widely used, but most misunderstood aspects within international trade; they can impact on a number of areas of a company’s operations, including sales, accounts, shipping, operations, compliance and customer service.

The latest version of Incoterms® published is known as ICC Incoterms® 2020.

Since the UK’s referendum on EU membership in 2016, there has been an increase in companies wanting to understand more about import and export processes. Even so, with this surge in interest, Incoterms® is still one area that is most widely used, yet one of the most misunderstood.

If used correctly, they can avoid uncertainty, minimise delay and facilitate smooth operations, transport and payment. If you agree to use a term without understanding the full implications for your business, it can result in unexpected costs, obligations and delays.

This one-day course will provide a comprehensive overview of the new 2020 version of the terms and the differences compared to the previous 2010 version.

The course will also enable UK businesses to be much more cost and risk aware, when negotiating new business deals whatever the future international trade environment holds for the UK post-Brexit.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
