How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and a assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original regulation and applied exercises. The working software is SAP GTS, Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE Global Trade, Consolidated Screening List (trade.gov), advanced Excel, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Practicals are studied using real procedures for classifying supply chain components, screening suppliers and customers, and auditing internal compliance programmes. Assessment is continuous across each module plus the final integrated project.
