What outcomes can you expect from joining
On completion of the course delegates will be able to identify if their goods will require an export licence through the combined use of the UK Trade Tariff, Goods checker and the UK Strategic Control list. From there delegates will then be able to identify if an OGEL licence fits their needs through checking the existing UK OGELs or decide on the correct licence if no OGEL is available. The application process through SPIRE for individual licences is covered so delegates can apply in an effective manner and stay compliant in the use of all licences.
