If we were to ask different people in the business world “why is training in international trade important?”, many of them would answer that “the internationalisation of the company has ceased to be an option and has become a mandatory step in most businesses”.

After the “internationalise to survive” phase, companies have realized that international trade is truly profitable both in times of crisis and in more favourable stages. For this reason, many companies are training members of their teams in international trade, to ensure that they can not only continue outsourcing their sales but in the best possible way.
International trade is the movement (purchase-sale) of goods and services across countries (from outside the country of origin) and their respective markets.
International trade is subject to additional regulations that must be understood and accepted by both the buyer and seller that are involved in the transaction, along with the governments of their countries of origin. This is to ensure that there are no problems with matters such as taxes, which often increase the initial investment and can decrease the profit. It is important to be knowledgeable about this subject.
It is important to highlight that many companies that currently operate in the market wouldn’t exist without international trade and this is why we recommend that training in international trade is important.

With more than 15 years of experience in working on internationalisation projects, the most remarkable thing about our courses and training is that we go beyond theory, as our day-to-day is synonymous with international trade.

Our training is conducted both within the company (mainly in small groups, with a high degree of specialisation) but we also work in collaboration with business schools and universities.
