Training topics to discuss
The following learning outline helps you choose priorities. The final syllabus and session arrangements are confirmed before you enrol.
1. Export readiness and planning
Define your product, supply capacity and target customer. Build an export brief and identify information you still need before committing money.
2. Product and market research
Compare potential markets using evidence. Consider specifications, packaging, competition, distribution and destination requirements. Separate assumptions from verified information.
3. Understanding documentation
Learn the roles of commonly used commercial and transport documents, and how to identify product-specific requirements. Current registrations, permissions and compliance steps must be checked for your product and transaction.
4. Finding and screening buyers
Prepare a clear enquiry, assess buyer identity and references, and record unresolved questions. Use the free buyer-verification worksheet below to organise your checks.
5. Costing and quotation planning
Identify product, packing, inland transport, freight and other possible costs. Clarify what a quotation includes, its currency, validity and delivery responsibilities.
6. Payment, logistics and next steps
Understand the questions to ask your bank and logistics provider. Prepare a next-action list covering payment conditions, shipment responsibilities and outstanding checks.
Practical learning activities
Discuss activities such as preparing an export brief, comparing two candidate markets, drafting a product enquiry and completing a buyer-screening record. The agreed programme determines which exercises and materials are included.
