Why ABTS®?

The ABTS® International Trade Mastery Programme will give you the confidence to start your own import export business or get your dream job in international trade.

Other courses teach more theory than substance because many mentors have an education diploma but don’t have the commercial, real-world, practical experience in moving goods around the world and the understanding of what can go wrong.

Without Exaggerating…

Without exaggerating, this course really is insightful, and after studying it the right way and asking questions about what you didn't understand; you should be able to have full knowledge about importing/exporting procedures, international trade procedures, and mental preparation in dealing will all situations that comes with both. I would definitely recommend this course if anyone ask me.

Empowering Education for a Self Reliant and Empowered Future

As a novice with no previous experience, I am extremely happy that I took the three-course bundle; it has excellent long-term value. I can go back for guidance anytime I'm stuck or need a refresher in the future. The bundle was well-rounded and progressive. Alan offers a bonafide and insightful curriculum, along with invaluable support and a light humourous joke or two along the way to keep you enagaged. I also got invaluable advice/consultation when I decided to start-up after finishing the courses. This not only gave me the confidence to start my own enterprise but also the support, knowledge and skills required to work day-to-day in the sector mid recession - what more can i ask for. A very good course, without any cheesy upsells!

Course Tailored made for you…

I signed up with ABTS in May after deliberating between few other online courses. I had a phone call from Alan explaining me about the course itself, the modules and the topics covered and as soon as I put the phone down, I signed up with ABTS. This course is tailored made and explains you exactly what you need to know and how to put your knowledge into practice. Alan is great and takes time to explain every detail supported with a lot of examples from his personal experience. Thank you Alan.

International trade 5*

International trade is a tricky topic to grasp, and it's even harder to teach it in an accessible way. But that's exactly what Alan's course manages to achieve. Armed with the knowledge and applied examples provided during the course, I now have a clear understanding of international trade documentation and the overall process. Thank you!

A clear understanding of International Trade

This is a very enlightening well thought through training school. Should you wish to understand the mechanics of international trade, then Alan Bracken's teachings are in my opinion the best on the market. The content is thorough and covers all aspects of import export and gives the student all the tools to start their own business in foreign trade.

Best Course Ever

Before coming to ABTS, I did joined another course costs me $1200. They give me too much general information. Then I decided to take another cost of Mr. Alan. It's so much different, it is so much practical, easy to understand. And it is specifically that you can communicate or get support directly from Mr. Alan. This is the best course ever, it is worth with your money. Don't miss it.

All I needed from an international trade course

Before I took the ABTS online course, I was working as a Customer Service Assistant. The online course thought me everything about international trade, import and exporting and it helped me to find a job in a supply chain department. The support for Mr Alan Bracken and his team was always there whenever I had questions while I was working in supply chain. After working in 4 years in my last company, I am now responsible for all import and exporting processes in our successfully run family business. Thank you for everything ABTS! Semra Arslan
