GISTnet S12u—C-TPAT Customs Broker Employee Training

S12u—C-TPAT Customs Broker Employee Training

This course is in development, and will be ready on 2008-08-31.

Estimated total study time: 1 hour 45 minutes

This course covers supply chain security awareness and the operational security measures ("Minimum Security Criteria") required for Customs Brokers under the U.S. C-TPAT program. It is designed to meet the C-TPAT training requirement for employees who must understand, perform and/or otherwise comply with operational-level security measures.

Note: Because the implementation of C-TPAT security measures varies somewhat by company, this course, as is, can provide only general-purpose coverage of these topics. For companies with more than a few people to train, we recommend customization of this training to add company-specific security policy and procedures. The GISTware system which hosts this training facilitates such customization; please contact us for specifics.
