  • Hand on heart, I had no idea I would learn as much as I did on the course. The depth of knowledge from a snippet of time to learn really was invaluable. The communication, humour and learning aids were spot on to keep me engaged. It’s been a while since I was in education but I must say that I felt continually drawn into the course.

  • The content was thorough and well-organized. It covered all essential aspects of ATA Carnet procedures effectively. The training materials provided were clear and will serve as valuable resources for future reference. I found the interactive nature of the course most valuable. The instructor's ability to engage participants and facilitate discussions was excellent.

  • I had little experience and very basic understanding of carnets prior to the course and did not expect to get so much out of it. I really liked that two people delivered the training, so that you were able to interact with questions in the chat feature without disrupting the flow of training material. The content of training material was very informative, it was broken down in a way that was easy to understand and was very engaging.

Who should attend?

This course is aimed to any companies or sole traders in the goods and services industries who need to take non-consumable commodities out of the UK on a temporary basis with a commercial purpose, whether to be used as commercial samples, professional equipment or at exhibitions and similar events.

The course covers all countries in the ATA Carnet scheme but is particularly beneficial for companies/sole traders moving goods temporarily to the EU, as since the UK departed from the European Union, customs controls to temporary movements by both territories have been implemented.

A certificate of attendance will be issued to delegates.
