Training

BIFA is pleased to announce that the fi rst phase of the bitesize eLearning courses is now available for full Members. These can be accessed via www.bifa.org and there is no limit on learners per Member. Each learner simply needs their own log- on to the BIFA portal via our website – see picture below (contact bifacomms@bifa.org if you have problems accessing the portal). At the time of writing, the following subjects – all extracts from BIFA’s freight forwarding and Customs essentials courses – are available: • Preparing to Trade • Incoterms More modules will be added in the coming weeks including: • Classi fi cation • Procedure Codes. CDS Compliance Bitesize In addition, working with our policy and compliance team, we have created a CDS Compliance Bitesize course. This two-part course consists of a mandatory module based around an import home-use declaration. • Inward Processing • Outward Processing • Customs Warehousing • Return Goods Relief • Paying HMRC eLearning modules allow learners to access material where and when convenient Inclusive training for Members goes live

CDS course timeline

By the end of Q1, additional regimes will be available as optional modules. The optional modules centre around elements speci fi c to these regimes where they differ to an import home use declaration and will include: • Standard Export • Export from Customs Warehouse

These eLearning modules allow learners to access material where and when convenient. Learners do not have to complete the course in one sitting and can return to material to refresh their memory. Tutor-led learning If you prefer a different learner experience or a formal quali fi cation, then our popular BTEC quali fi cations and tutor-led courses are available to you. Courses are scheduled regularly via Zoom or we can arrange to send a tutor to you to carry out training in-person to a group of employees.
