What will I learn in this course?

• International Trade Overview - Introduction to the international trade landscape and the core practices including the ICC Incoterms® Rules. Learn the important role played in global trade by organisations such as The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law and the World Trade Organisation.
• Business Transactions and Contracts - We will look at the differences between the world’s various legal systems and help you strategically manage legal and contractual risks and avoid time consuming and expensive international disputes.
• Financing and Security Devices - Exporters and importers have very different interests when it comes to the payment methods and terms used in an international transaction. It is, therefore, crucial to be able to distinguish between the various instruments and solutions available.
• International Logistics and Sourcing - The choice of international transport method has a direct impact on price, speed of delivery and the risk of loss or damage. A clear understanding of each of the primary modes of international transport and their commercial practices is crucial to better appreciate the complexities of global trade.
