Courses that follow the project, not a syllabus.
Each course sits beside the stage it helps with, so you can learn the next step while your own project is waiting for it.
Before you commit
Sourcing and trade basics
Finding and vetting suppliers, reading a quotation, Incoterms and negotiation: what you need before a sample is approved.
While it is made
Compliance, quality and sustainability
The standards your market expects, how testing works, what an inspection checks, and how to word a sustainability claim you can evidence.
Getting it to you
Logistics, customs and trade finance
Freight modes, customs and duty, and the payment instruments that protect buyer and factory.
