How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable materials, recorded classes and a dedicated technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake period, making it easy to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standards and applied exercises. The software used is EUR-Lex and TARIC (tariff classification and regulations), Advanced Excel (licence and authorisation control), control list screening tools (Consolidated Screening List), SAP GTS (global trade management), in free, academic or trial versions. Testing is studied through real procedures from classifying products against control lists, export compliance audits, simulated authorisation files. Assessment is continuous for each module, plus a final capstone project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
