You’ll start with the basics
Your training begins with a self-paced module providing the basics of US export controls and how they apply to non-US companies, followed by short reading assignments in preparation for one of two 90-minute online, interactive classes.
You’ll get a thorough grounding
The first virtual class gives you a thorough grounding in US export controls from the perspective of a non-US business. This will cover an overview of relevant export controls, dual-use goods and commodities regulations and how these apply to a non-US business. We examine key legislation and cover how to classify items including technology that can have a dual use.
The second virtual class discusses recognizing the main export controls risks for a non-US business, as well as how to build a successful export controls compliance program, enhanced due diligence and authorizations pertaining to dual-use goods for a foreign business.
You’ll develop your understanding
We’ll elaborate on BIS guidance, talk about the consequences of non-compliance, and cover the topics that you must know. You will experience Q&A sessions, real-world case studies, student polls, and practice questions prepared so that you understand all aspects of export controls compliance before your one-hour exam of multiple-choice questions.
