Testimonials

Nicolas Bertram
"Towards the middle of last year I attended your import export course. In less than a year I have been able to improve our bottom line by $100k by applying the knowledge I gained and by improving our processes. Needless to say, this is quite a good return for a few hundred dollars and a few evenings!"

Melissa Walsh
"A great course, so much for one day...Corinne made sense of those strange terms FOB, DDP and now we ship all around the globe. I also met many interesting people in the course who were also trying to make sense of the complexities of importing and exporting"
