5 Days of Classroom Instruction with Distance Learning Preparation


The Schedule for the Five Day Classroom Phase:

Orlando, Florida - September 23-27, 2013

This is our most comprehensive course.

Your studies will begin with a modified version of our Multimedia Distance Learning Program, in the comfort of your home or office you can start your studies by reading the online textbook, until your textbooks arrive, and you will complete the program in Orlando with five days of classroom instruction. Fully preparing you to take the US Customs Broker Exam!

This is not a simple lecture or seminar series, but an interactive learning environment. You will be in constant e-mail guidance with your instructor during the Distance Learning phase. You will take the end of chapter quizzes, and a midterm online. The results of the quizzes will be automatically submitted to your instructor, who will then contact you with detailed information on the corrections, discuss with you any problem areas, and answer your questions about any of the course material.

Both the Online and Classroom Instructors are internationally known speakers. All of our instructors are Custom Brokers, with either a background in law, finance, and/or corporate training. Our classroom programs are kept small and the setting is specifically designed to encourage you to ask questions and get prompt answers. These five classroom days will expand your knowledge, and provide a big boost by reviewing all your studies - right before the exam!

All of the questions in the Chapter Review Quizzes, Previous Test Questions, mid-term and final, as well as the questions in the Classification Section are previous exam questions. In the Students Corner you will have every Previous Exam since 2005 along with an analysis for every question on each exam.
