"Train the Trainer"
Import/Export Compliance Management

Overview:

Every day more and more American corporations are becoming organized in Import/Export Compliance. Most companies have delegated the compliance responsibility to either one individual or to a small select group.

How do these designated compliance "experts"... learn their trade? Then how do they transform their knowledge into SOP's and in-house training programs?

Most learn by going through a difficult learning curve. They learn as they go along. While there are benefits going through the "school of hard knocks"... it often is expensive, certainly not cost effective and do we as corporations have all that time to become "compliant"?

The ARI program .."Training the Trainer" is a specifically designed to provide an intensive program to indoctrinate the compliance officer quickly, comprehensively with an ability to bring back to the company a "head start" in compliance management.

How it Works

The company sends the compliance individual/officer to NY or Washington DC for a one week, 60-hour program on a one-to-one basis to facilitate a tailored compliance training program for that individual and their company.

The program also affords a mentoring continuation of expertise and resources for that individual to draw upon, as he or she advances in their company's compliance program.
