David Miller from The Customs People will be preparing a course specifically for the HE sector and delivering it over two sessions in one day. We will limit numbers to 25 people per day, but will run the session as many times as we need to. The plan is that we will advertise one training day and once we have 20 people booked in, then advertise the next training day.
This course is aimed at all staff that are involved in imports/exports within a university – it is not specific to in-house tax departments or finance teams.
