Our Export Documentation Training Puts Your Staff in Control

Point-to-Point offers training workshops on your premises that take your staff through the specific aspects of export documentation relevant to your company's procedures, products and markets.

This makes them particularly useful in keeping your company’s export procedures in line with best practice and in briefing staff on new market requirements.

Currently, our workshops cover:

• Letters of Credit . . . DETAILS
• International Commercial Terms (Incoterms) 2000 . . . DETAILS
• International credit control . . . DETAILS

We place emphasis on always relating theory to company practice so fresh skills can be rapidly taken on board and put into practice. Our training is delivered in on-site sessions lasting no more than two to three hours so will not intrude significantly into the working day (although actual duration is entirely dependent on your requirements)

On completion, a free telephone helpline is available to delegates for a pre-defined period.
