Through my membership of the Chartered Institute – an organisation dedicated to supporting those who work in exporting and importing – I have access to expertise and industry best-practice vital to keep me and my business informed and operating at the top of our game.
The challenge within this profession is staying on top of ever-changing legislation and regulations. The Chartered Institute is an excellent partner, not just for training courses, but also by providing helpful tools like webinars and special interest groups.
The experience, knowledge and accompanying qualification I've gained from the Level 5: Diploma in World Customs Compliance & Regulations has laid a solid foundation for a bright career in commercial customs and compliance.
Communication from tutors has been excellent, including one-to-one sessions for queries both directly on the course content and to ask advice on how to tackle real-world problem scenarios.
The Level 5 Diploma in World Customs Compliance & Regulations helped me move my career from simply doing customs work to truly understanding the profession.
It gave me the structure and knowledge to think more strategically about international trade and compliance, enabling me to identify risks and make more informed decisions.
The Level 3: Certificate in International Trade has helped me to gain confidence in studying again and in the end gave me a clearer understanding of the complex nature of international trading.
I was unsure about returning to studying after over 20 years, the tutors and course material have made this the right choice for me.
Teaching was not only highly interesting and well‑structured, but also genuinely inspiring. My tutor had a great way of explaining complex concepts clearly and making every topic feel engaging and relevant.
I also want to highlight the positive energy and motivation my tutor consistently brought to each session. It truly encouraged us to stay focused, complete the knowledge checks, and push ourselves to get the most out of the course.
The Level 4 Diploma in International Trade has helped me move my career from a 'job' to a profession.
It’s been like an escalator to a new level of international trade understanding. The tutors were instrumental in helping me explore what I was capable of.
The knowledge and skills I obtained from the qualifications I have achieved were instrumental in my career development.
For future students, I can attest that the investment is deeply rewarding, transforming not only your professional trajectory but also your personal outlook on the world.
The Chartered Institute experts have been nothing short of brilliant.
We received a ‘customs health check.' We’ve since also had help over the phone and by email from Chartered Institute experts. They were unbelievably knowledgeable and incredibly helpful.
Bringing customs declarations in-house has reduced the transit times on the goods that we import and the Chartered Institute has massively helped us with this project.
Had we not implemented the Chartered Institute’s recommendations, we could have lost three to four times the amount of money in subsequent sales.
We wouldn’t have been accepted onto various requests for proposals (RFPs) if we were not able to prove our compliance certification levels.
We have the Chartered Institute to thank for marking our card. Your help resulted in millions of pounds of business being maintained and secured.
Once we contacted the Chartered Institute, they provided the assurance we required very quickly. A health check of the business was implemented and once we understood where we could improve, we chose the right model of help which fitted our business needs.
The Chartered Institute has provided invaluable guidance, not only from their consultant, but the support from being a member is excellent.
Clear and concise and very knowledgeable, the Chartered Institute provided everything we were looking for.
The onsite health check went exceptionally well, I was amazed at how open, honest, and frank the Westmill staff were. I know that if we had gone with one of the big 4, the outcome would have been very different. The consultant made all involved feel comfortable and able to express their thoughts and concerns without holding back.
Friendly and knowledgeable trainer. Any questions asked the tutor answered, and if not known, they asked colleagues and answers were provided. Course contained a lot of information and very thorough in everything covered.
The tutor was very lovely, she explained everything clearly. Particularly when discussing the composite export health certificates, which is a bit more complicated, so very helpful! The course was well structured and allowed for questions in between so was at a good pace!
