Attendees comments
"Perfect crash course, perfect organization, very good speaker, I learned a lot."

"A competent speaker who does a very, very good job online. It's always a bit difficult to keep the participants happy online. The speaker managed that! I also liked the practical examples of export declarations and import declarations."

"A likeable and absolutely competent lecturer who was able to convey such a difficult topic in the best possible way! I particularly liked the explanations on the "living object" and the practical aids."

"The training was very strenuous (as a lot of specialist knowledge was imparted in a short space of time). But I had the feeling that the speaker knew everything about the topic and also provided lots of practical tips. I'm no longer so afraid of making mistakes when shipping and have been given a lot of help."

"Well selected and compact content, good working documents, pleasant learning atmosphere."

"We went through many case studies on each topic. I liked the simple and smooth process, the very high level of competence and expertise of the lecturer, the high level of practical relevance and the opportunity to apply the knowledge gained directly in practice. Nothing was left to be desired."

"The trainer had a high level of expertise. With enormous knowledge and years of experience. It was relaxed and you could always ask questions in between. My main reason for the rating is that I thought it was very good and I think that the event was so well organized and participant-oriented that it deserves a good rating."

"All participants and their respective industries were addressed. Relaxed, entertaining and very informative event!"

"Very entertaining and informative. Satisfied all round. High quality standard."

"The speaker responded competently to every question and also answered questions from previous topics, even though another topic had already been addressed. There was no need to be afraid to ask a question. The speaker was always on hand with help and advice. If we have any further questions, we can send them by email. I am very happy to accept the offer. The organization was also great. Smooth registration, delivery of the materials and a very competent speaker."

"Very good speaker, who presented the complex and sometimes very "dry" customs topics perfectly. It was also great that he responded to individual participants and found and communicated specific cases for the relevant location / company area. Apart from that, the rhetoric was excellent, the training was well prepared and the speaker made it very entertaining and extremely interesting. Nothing was missing for a "crash course" and the individual topics were dealt with perfectly."
