DTI Export Control Organisation
– Ongoing Exporter Training Requirements
As part of our ongoing effort to meet the training requirements of exporters, please see training requirement form below which you can complete to express interest in a training event. We will try to fulfil as many of these requests as possible by arranging beginners and intermediate events in specific areas or by tailoring advanced events to meet specific requirements. Please also see the upcoming events which will be posted on our website: http://www.dti.gov.uk/export.control/awareness.htm
Before completing the form, please read the event summaries as follows.
Beginners Workshops
This is aimed at attendees who are completely new to export control for whatever reason and aims to answer the following questions:
- What is export control?
- How does it affect me?
- What happens next?
For any attendees who have a basic knowledge of export controls, the intermediate seminar is more appropriate.
The workshop consists of a 2 hour session including one presentation (approx 40 mins duration) and then an opportunity for attendees to ask any specific questions that they have. Due to the nature of the workshop, numbers are kept to a minimum (maximum 10) to encourage interaction and allow all questions and queries to be asked and answered fully.
All those attending beginner’s workshops are asked to prepare specific questions in advance wherever possible for the interactive session so that it is as useful as possible.
Intermediate Seminar
This is a formal set of presentations lasting all day, with time for Q&A allowed after each presentation. This seminar is aimed at those with a working knowledge of export control, as a lot of information will be disseminated during the day. The exact content of the day will depend on the availability of speakers.
Electronic Transfers of Technology
Looks at the definitions of technology within the legislation, and other relevant articles and sections of text. Also explores activities that constitute a transfer of technology and what to think about when transferring technology.
