ABC Customs Brokers Feb 04, 2015

Coming from a successful 2014 trade compliance education season, ABC Customs Brokers is excited to announce another season chock-full of seminars and workshops. The 2015 spring season is slated to run from February 12, 2015 to May 21, 2015. Whether you are an importer or exporter trying to understand current trade regulations or planning your professional development this year, we have some excellent programs lined up for you.

If you have never attended one of our courses before, the following information might help you decide on attending the next one.

Seminars and Workshops

At these in-person sessions, our experts share their knowledge on cross-border and international shipping. They will keep you current with customs and other government department regulations. You will learn the best practices on being compliant as an importer and/or exporter, helping you expedite shipments rather than trigger costly delays. The benefits of attending an in-person seminar or workshop include:

• All day access – Get our experts to answer your questions one-on-one
• Range of topics – Choose from a wide variety of seminar topics
• Certificate of Completion – Receive a certificate for each course you attend
• Case studies and real-life examples – Examine other attendees’ trade compliance issues
• Networking – Connect with other like-minded professionals
• Handouts – Take home your own set of course material
• Industry recognized sessions – Earn points towards maintenance of your industry designations

New This Spring Season

We’re always looking for new ways to improve our education program. This season we have added some new components to our Trade Compliance Education Program which include:

(i) New location added

We’ll be bringing our sessions to downtown Vancouver this season. Starting with the U.S. Trade Compliance Explained on March 12 and Canadian Trade Compliance Explained on March 19, we will head to UBC Robson Square to make our sessions more accessible.

(ii) Further accreditation and recognition for professional development

The Law Society of British Columbia and professional accounting associations have joined the Canadian Society of Customs Brokers (CSCB) and the NCBFAA Educational Institute (NEI) in accrediting many of our courses for professional development credits.

(iii) New presenter added to team

We’ve added a new speaker to the seminar roster. A hearty welcome to Mike Wright, Licensed Customs Broker, Certified Customs Specialist and CIFFA graduate who brings with him over 25 years of experience in Canadian customs brokerage.
