CHAMBER LAUNCHES OVERSEAS EXPORTING COURSES

THE Devon Chamber are launching a new series of nationally recognised courses for companies interested in exporting overseas.

The training courses are for people and companies of every size wanting to learn about documentation, Letters of Credit, International Commercial Terms, Preference Rules of Origin, and how to work with agents and distributors in overseas markets, said the deputy chair of Devon Chamber, Lesley Shorrocks.

Miss Shorrocks, launching the new courses, said: “The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has developed the courses that will be delivered at the Devon Chamber offices in Plymouth- by qualified trainers at International Trade Matters.”

“It may seem obvious, but training your staff to deliver your products or services right first time, every time, will lower costs and improve the experience local companies deliver to your customers,” she said.

The Chamber is running six courses including:
