ACCESS TO FREE TRAINING MODULES UNTIL THE END OF MAY 2021 !

07/05/2021

Yes, www.tradefinance.training will allow existing and new trainees access to any THREE modules and ONE assessment, FREE OF CHARGE, if ordered on or before 31 May 2021. 

At www.tradefinance.training we pride ourselves on creating and delivering training modules that focus on the issues that matter, as well as addressing the concerns faced by operational staff in the handling and examination requirements for the topics that are covered. Above all else, our modules come at a standard price that is among the lowest, if not the lowest, in the market at £15-25 per module this recognising our aim in providing affordable training to all in a modularised manner.

During these most difficult of times, trade finance staff are working away from the office, often for longer hours and under conditions that would not be experienced or expected in an office environment. The continued training and development of staff has been put to one side with, it must be said, complete justification. Our offer to make available THREE modules and ONE assessment is our small gesture to all those of you that are going the extra mile to ensure that trade finance transactions continue to be processed efficiently and timely for your importing and exporting clients and where, as a consequence, you have suffered in your further learning and development over the past 12-18 months.

Our list of available modules can be found at the following link https://www.tradefinance.training/shop/

If you are an existing trainee, simply log in with your username and password, select the three modules that you would like to access plus one assessment (which need not be linked to the topic(s) of the modules you have selected) and submit your order. Ignore the reference to the cost of the modules and assessment. No invoice will be issued and you will receive an automated email notification when the modules and assessment have been assigned to you.

If you are not an existing trainee, go to www.tradefinance.training and register your details (the Register tab is in the top right quartile of the website). Once completed and submitted, you will receive an automated email advising that you have access to the website to place your order. When received, go to the Training modules tab at the top of the home screen and select the three modules that you would like to access plus one assessment (which need not be linked to the topic(s) of the modules you have selected) and submit your order. Ignore the reference to the cost of the modules and assessment. No invoice will be issued and you will receive an automated email notification when the modules and assessment have been assigned to you.

Most modules, when completed by a trainee, will earn 2 CPD’s towards recertification for CDCS, CSDG or CITF. Certificates of completion, where applicable, will be issued in the name as registered in the website.

We look forward to receiving your order.

In the meantime, we hope that you, your family and colleagues remain safe and well.

Latest Question

We, as the issuing bank, requested the below document, under field 46A. “Insurance policy/certificate for 10.00 percent above CIF value payable to the order of Sampath bank PLC, covering institute cargo clauses (a), institute war clauses (cargo), institute strike clauses (cargo), transshipment risks marked premium paid claims payable in Colombo irrespective of percentage.” Insurance certificate is presented containing below wording on the face side of the document. “The settlement of loss and damage will be effected, unless otherwise provided, through the intermediary of Marsh SA/NV to whom all documents are to be forwarded for this purpose, and will collect the indemnity under deduction of a commission of one percent” Also, it indicates the LC conditions as a mirror image as follows under the heading of "letter of credit conditions" whereas insurance conditions are incorporated separately in the certificate: "covering institute cargo clauses (A), institute war clauses (cargo), institute strike clauses (cargo), transshipment risks marked premium paid claims payable in Colombo irrespective of percentage" Having considered the above clauses, we have quoted below discrepancies. 1) Insurance policy indicates a deductible of 1 pct instead of irrespective of percentage. 2) Insurance not marked premium paid Beneficiary’s bank disagrees with our discrepancy and raised below argument: “Insurance policy/certificate does not indicate a deductible of 1 pct irrespective of percentage on the face of the document and banks will not examine terms and condition in insurance document as per ISBP paragraph K22 and marked as premium paid under the LC conditions. Considering above, may we have your opinion on the discrepancy quoted by us and the counter argument raised by the beneficiary’s bank.
