Export control training successes

Over 700 exporters have been to one or other of the 35 Export Control Organisation’s countrywide training courses during the past year. The most popular venues were London, Derby, Leeds and Southampton.

Beginners’ workshops
Beginners’ workshops for those who have just started in the export control business are very popular: nearly 140 people attended 11 workshops last year most of whom found the level of the course and the small group format to their liking.

Intermediate level seminars
The intermediate level seminars, attended by nearly 400 people, covered a number of current issues including exporting technology, the different sorts of licences available, company compliance with export control legislation and the UK control lists.

Making better licence applications
The courses to help exporters make better licence applications, including guidance on ELVIS – the system developed by ECO to encourage exporters to apply for Standard Individual Export Licences via the internet – have gone well and it has meant that, since the first one in November 2005 the number of online SIEL submissions has increased substantially. About 25% of SIEL applications now come in via the internet.

Understanding OGELs
There have also been a number of successful courses on developing greater make better licence applications among exporters.

Overall impressions of the courses were encouraging: 95% of attendees found the arrangements, course content, ease of registration, venue etc excellent or good.

ECO staff have given a number of presentations over the past twelve months to individual companies, HM Revenue and Customs, chambers of commerce, the European Commission and various overseas delegations.
