CBLE PREP COURSE

We prepare you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence.

Our ten-week virtual prep course is led by founder Kevin King, who passed the exam on his first try in May 2024. He will share with you the study skills, practice techniques and exam day preparation that enabled him to succeed on an exam that only had a 13% pass rate.

This course is designed for busy professionals seeking an affordable option to prepare for the exam that offers a mix of independent work and weekly classes. We recommend that enrollees have at least a basic understanding of key trade compliance concepts. If you're new to international trade, or if you need a refresher, check out our One-on-One Coaching option.
