Export control.

In recent years, trade has become far more complex throughout Europe and the UK – with multiple rule changes, new logistics bottlenecks, and the possibility that more will follow in the future. For those working with logistics chains, understanding export controls and their on-the-ground implications is fundamental. But it’s not only goods that are affected by trade regulation: services and indeed any business transaction across borders may also be the subject of legislation.

For that reason, employees need to be well informed, and leaders must ensure they incorporate export control knowledge into day-to-day practice. To help achieve this, Sponge has crafted a range of cutting-edge programmes to make learning unforgettable – all adaptable to your company and its particular needs.

Keeping ahead of business risk.

Authoritative content.

Created by leading authorities in export control alongside Sponge's learning science experts, our programme is designed to drive behavioural change – not just impart academic knowledge.

Customised to your needs.

Build a tailored programme through our Mix & Match modules and target specific knowledge gaps - or go fully bespoke.

Easy, fast deployment.

Seamless deployment through your existing LMS, or delivered with Sponge’s dedicated LMS solution.

In your language.

With ready-made options in English, German and French, and the capability to serve a wide range of other languages.

What our ready-made
programme offers.

Every organisation has different learning requirements and gaps in understanding that need to be filled. With our special Mix & Match system, your learning manager can work with our experts to identify the training modules employees need and the lesson type that suits them best – from text and images to video, animations and simulations.

Your employees are introduced to export control by carrying out legal transactions in foreign trade, learning to recognise when they are affected by export regulations and how to behave in accordance with both the law and the interest of their company.

  • Export Control: an overview.
