Worth the investment!

I just completed ABTS Export/Import Documentation course and I only have positive things to say about the course. I found the course to be well structured, easy to understand and full of practical information. I feel like it really gave me good knowledge to understand how import/export works and what the main documents are and how to use them. It’s also real practical knowledge and not just theories, like a lot of courses are about. The Ebook that comes with the course is great and has all the essential elements that were taught in each lesson. I just enrolled in a 2nd course on letters of credit and feel confident that this course will be worth as well.

Review of ABTS Training

I recently enrolled the ABTS International Trade Mastery programme, and I couldn't be more impressed. The course is incredibly well-structured, catering to both beginners and those with some experience in international trade. The lessons are practical, real-world focused, and designed to equip you with the skills needed to confidently navigate the complexities of global trade. Alan brings a wealth of experience and an impressive teaching style that makes the material engaging and easy to follow. The course covers everything from export documentation and procedures to starting your own import/export business, with invaluable insights into cost control, profit maximization, and deal-making. One of the standout features is the flexibility of the course. With pre-recorded lessons, you can study at your own pace, making it perfect for busy professionals. The support & access from Alan's extensive knowledge base, is a very good help for anyone needing guidance along the way. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to start or grow their career in international trade. It's an investment in your future that pays off with the confidence and skills to succeed in the global market. Thanks Alan for sharing your experience & knowledge.

Very interesting and enjoyable

I have just completed my course with ABTS on Import Export Documentation and Procedure and found it very interesting and enjoyable. Alan teaches the course in a practical way with real-life examples and easy to understand videos, with the option of one-to-one support on hand if anything is unclear. I took the course to expand my knowledge on import and export documentation for my work, but I have learnt a lot more than the 'basics' and feel like I have more confidence with the subject. Thank you!

Take the step and do the course

Just completed the Start your own Import Export agency business course and I will defiantly be continuing forward and paying for ABTS"s other 2 courses. Alan teaches in a no nonsense straight to the point approach and always speaks from experience to save us the students from the mistakes he made. Plus Alan is always available for a call should you need any thing. If you are serious about getting started in international trade learn through ABTS as Alan has"been there done that" which is invaluable.

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!

Comprehensive & practical course

This course is the ESSENCE of what you really need to know if you want to become an agent. It gives practical knowledge how efficiently orientate yourself in this business. I found Alan's tips based on his experience extremely useful as it pointed out what I should watch out not to make losses but to make a successful business deal. The course material is presented in such a simple and easy to understand manner. Highly recommend!

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!

Bob Mogg

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.

Carl Smith

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
