Trainings and Trainers

Being an ICC Registered Trainer means that the trainer has gone through a rigorous selection process, and that - by passing the ICC Academy exam which tests the trainer’s understanding of the new Incoterms® 2020 rules - he/she has a measurable level of expertise, ensuring that those taking part in the training can be assured that they are getting the best and ICC recognised advice. 

Only National Committees and Groups may appoint candidates to receive this qualification. If ICC Headquarters receives a spontaneous application, they will direct the person to the relevant National Committee. The qualification is valid for use in the country/territory of the National Committee for a period of two years (renewable). Successful candidates will be able to use the qualification of ICC Registered Trainer on Incoterms® 2020 subject to the general conditions described in the Guidelines and the particular conditions agreed upon with the sponsoring NC. Their names will be featured on the Incoterms® section of the ICC global website.
