2026 is the year when ATA Carnets will join the digital era, going from their paper versions to the new eATA digital platform. The eATA Carnet project aims to digitalise ATA Carnets and their lifecycle management process, from issuance and declarations to transactions and claims. The eATA global transition will begin on Monday 1 June 2026 starting with the EU, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. 

This session is designed for individuals and organisations who are already applying for and or using ATA Carnets to export their goods temporarily out of the UK and want to prepare for the digital transition.

This introduction course covers the eight main types of Letters of Credit used in international trade from advance payment, including Sight Documentary Collection and Documentary Letters of Credit. It also includes the use of Bills of Exchange with and without documents.

Over 75% of first presentations to banks against Documentary Letters of Credit are rejected, resulting in delayed payments to exporters, additional costs, and breached delivery deadlines. This introduction course is suitable for all staff who need to have a clear understanding of the procedures required to ensure payments for goods sold on documentary credit terms. Knowledge and understanding are reinforced through the use of exercises, tips on getting the credit you want and working examples of documentary credits.

Being capable is no longer enough. In today’s workplace, progression is shaped by how clearly you communicate your value, not just how hard you work. But imposter syndrome is quietly holding talented professionals back.

Led by TEDx speaker and visibility strategist Debbie Bryan, this in-person training session blends leadership psychology with real-world communication strategy to help professionals step forward with authority.

Places are limited. Early booking is recommended.
