Self-confidence is often a differentiating factor between successful and unsuccessful performance. Self-confidence can be learned, practiced, and mastered – just like any other skill. Once you master it, everything in your life will change for the better.
Confidence is related to how well you do your job, how effectively you relate to others and how good you feel about yourself. When you are more confident you become more willing to learn and do what it takes to accomplish key goals in life and in work.

HMRC expect traders to establish codes by using through a reasoned in house documented process. An objective of this seminar is to provide organisations with the necessary resources to demonstrate compliance with this requirement
09:30 AM - 11:30 AMAll of us, in any enterprise, would find it hard to excel in it if we were unclear of what is expected of us. Supervisors assume several roles in the workplace. How many of these roles are fundamental to the success of the company, a teams’ efficiency or building a positive team environment? Is it ‘one size that fits all’ or how adaptable does a Supervisor need to be?
This 2-hour module clarifies the team leader’s role in three key areas and challenges and develops ways of adapting behaviour to best suit different situations and people.
This course falls under the "Introduction to Supervision" banner and can be taken alongside the Motivation through Delegation and Managing Staff Performance Virtual courses (should you wish to). Please see the website for dates of these courses.

09:30 AM - 11:30 AMPart One ‘Assertiveness – Influencing your behaviour’
Undoubtedly covid-19 is having an impact on all our lives - with reportedly a third of the country starting to use video calls for the first time. So how does this change the way we need to communicate and behave in these unusual times?
Because we are now not working face to face and relying on virtual technology it’s even more important to be clear, concise and cooperative in our communication to reduce misunderstandings and confusion and build commitment.
We need to be flexible so that we can adapt our style to each audience whether through a camera, or via audio.

The inception of the Union Customs Code (UCC) in UK in May 2016 reduced the number of qualifying imports under the old "Simplified" IPR regime to 3 per year and requires those traders who wish to exceed this limit to seek an authorisation.

09:30 AM - 11:30 AMWe are already seeing the greatest competitive advantage is a company’s ability to be flexible and adapt. Learning, not knowledge, will power organizations into the future; and the central champion of learning should be the manager.
Yet too many managers micromanage, don’t delegate enough and don’t allow their staff to take decisions. Today’s manager needs to draw out everyone’s best thinking. This means encouraging people to learn.
This course falls under the "Getting the Best from your Staff" banner and can be taken alongside the Motivation through Delegation and Managing Staff Performance Virtual courses (should you wish to). Please see the website for dates of these courses.

09:30 AM - 12:30 PMThis online seminar offers an introduction to the terminology and procedures used in the exporting process and examine the responsibilities and obligations of all parties.
Delegates should gain an overview of the exporting process from first enquiry to order completion and to highlight the possible pitfalls that can await the unwary. No prior knowledge of exporting is assumed. The seminar will include a brief summary of The Incoterms® Rules 2020.
09:30 AM - 12:30 PM
The Incoterms® Rules are an essential business tool for export import because they define the risk and cost responsibilities of each party when arranging loading/unloading of the goods, delivery, import export clearance and freight contracts. They may be used in contract negotiations, as a checklist for buyers and sellers and as a framework for international and domestic sales contracts.
All parties involved in international trade in any capacity should clearly understand The Incoterms Rules to maximise legal certainty in transactions. This seminar will consider the general features of the rules and will examine each of them in detail. This course will satisfy the requirements of the British Chambers of Commerce/National Trade Training Service "Incoterms" assessment module.

09:30 AM - 12:30 PMThe origin of goods will determine the ability of the goods to freely circulate in the European Union and to enter countries with whom the EU has a trade agreement at zero rates of duty. The perception of origin has a major impact on the marketability of the goods and there will be significant post Brexit implications.
The rules of origin are complex and are often not understood by companies involved in international trade. This can lead to inadvertent fraudulent activity by falsely declaring the origin of the goods.

09:30 AM - 12:30 PMCustoms procedures are designed to manage and regulate the movement of goods through our borders. Compliance with these procedures requires the submission of accurate documentation. An importer or exporter is ultimately accountable for the completion of customs documentation even though the responsibility may be delegated to agents, freight forwarder or parcels operators.
The trader therefore needs to be aware of the detail requirements for completion and HMRC expect traders to have robust procedures for the checking of the documentation. Traders that can demonstrate compliance with these requirements have the option to apply for a trusted trader status that will reward them with access to fast – track and more economic border procedures.
09:30 AM - 12:30 PMInward Processing Relief (IPR) is used to obtain relief from customs duties and import VAT on goods that are imported from outside the EU for processing.
