Brought to you by the Department for Business and Trade, the UK Export Academy is a free training programme, delivered through a hybrid of online and face-to-face learning.
Who is the UK Export Academy for?
The UK Export Academy is open to any business in the UK who has a product or service that can be sold internationally. It is for businesses who know that they want to reach international customers and contracts in the future, as well as those who might already be selling beyond the UK and want to expand into new markets.
