“The IEA in-house training was thorough yet concise. Certain elements were highlighted to us that we may have been difficult to picked up, i.e. who is responsible for certain procedures and the best systems to ensure all aspects are covered. By escalating what it was we needed to do, it was quite easy to implement it as part of our current procedures. We are now confident we were practicing due diligence on our outbound and inbound documentation and processes.”

Ian Maher – Operations Manager

“The IEA provided inhouse training to our staff in an extremely professional and knowledgeable manner. The training was specifically designed to meet the needs of staff involved in Purchasing, Accounts Payable and Finance. The training covered all required topics.
The administration in arranging the course and the training were excellent. The trainer had an impressive level of knowledge and made himself available post training for any queries that may have arisen. The level of experience and knowledge of the trainer in this area has allowed us to develop a procedures manual for dealing with imports ensuring due diligence and adherence to regulatory responsibility.”
