ACCESS TO FREE TRAINING MODULES UNTIL THE END OF MAY 2021 !

07/05/2021

Yes, www.tradefinance.training will allow existing and new trainees access to any THREE modules and ONE assessment, FREE OF CHARGE, if ordered on or before 31 May 2021. 

At www.tradefinance.training we pride ourselves on creating and delivering training modules that focus on the issues that matter, as well as addressing the concerns faced by operational staff in the handling and examination requirements for the topics that are covered. Above all else, our modules come at a standard price that is among the lowest, if not the lowest, in the market at £15-25 per module this recognising our aim in providing affordable training to all in a modularised manner.

During these most difficult of times, trade finance staff are working away from the office, often for longer hours and under conditions that would not be experienced or expected in an office environment. The continued training and development of staff has been put to one side with, it must be said, complete justification. Our offer to make available THREE modules and ONE assessment is our small gesture to all those of you that are going the extra mile to ensure that trade finance transactions continue to be processed efficiently and timely for your importing and exporting clients and where, as a consequence, you have suffered in your further learning and development over the past 12-18 months.

Our list of available modules can be found at the following link https://www.tradefinance.training/shop/

If you are an existing trainee, simply log in with your username and password, select the three modules that you would like to access plus one assessment (which need not be linked to the topic(s) of the modules you have selected) and submit your order. Ignore the reference to the cost of the modules and assessment. No invoice will be issued and you will receive an automated email notification when the modules and assessment have been assigned to you.

If you are not an existing trainee, go to www.tradefinance.training and register your details (the Register tab is in the top right quartile of the website). Once completed and submitted, you will receive an automated email advising that you have access to the website to place your order. When received, go to the Training modules tab at the top of the home screen and select the three modules that you would like to access plus one assessment (which need not be linked to the topic(s) of the modules you have selected) and submit your order. Ignore the reference to the cost of the modules and assessment. No invoice will be issued and you will receive an automated email notification when the modules and assessment have been assigned to you.

Most modules, when completed by a trainee, will earn 2 CPD’s towards recertification for CDCS, CSDG or CITF. Certificates of completion, where applicable, will be issued in the name as registered in the website.

We look forward to receiving your order.

In the meantime, we hope that you, your family and colleagues remain safe and well.

Latest Question

A credit required: “1 COPY OF APPL'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION OF THE AMOUNT TO BE PAID (THE REMAINING CLAIMING AMOUNT). THE REMAINING CLAIMING AMOUNT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FINAL PURCHASE PRICE AMOUNT AND EIGHTY PERCENT (80%) INVOICE AMOUNT OF THE PROVISIONAL INVOICE. WITHIN FIVE (05) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE RECEIPT OF COPY OF FINAL INVOICE FROM THE BENEFICIARY THROUGH ELECTRONIC MAIL, THE APPLICANT SHALL SEND COPY OF APPLICANT'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION OF DRAWING CERTIFYING THAT THE DRAWING AMOUNT IS IN ORDER. IN THE EVENT THAT APPLICANT'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN ABOVE MENTIONED TIME, THE BENEFICIARY SHALL PRESENT 20% LC DOCUMENT AGAINST DISCHARGE PORT DOCUMENTS WITHOUT APPLICANT'S CERTIFICATE OF CONFIRMATION OF DRAWING.” Beneficiary presented their confirmation with amount to be paid being the difference between the final purchase price amount and 80% invoice amount of the provisional invoice. Can issuing bank raise a discrepancy of: 1. Certificate of confirmation not issued by the applicant as LC required or 2. Unpresentation 1 copy of applicant’s certificate of confirmation unpresentation. Because issuing bank received applicant’s confirmation that amount to be paid differs with amount to be paid by beneficiary (applicant showed deduction which is not mention under LC) plus applicant provided proof that applicant sent email to beneficiary within 5 banking days as LC required and amount to be paid. Whether or not applicant is protected by any terms or conditions of UCP, ISBP or ICC opinions,… because they presented applicant’s confirmation to beneficiary but beneficiary did not present applicant's document under their presentation?
