Course Overview

In today’s hyper-connected global economy, international trade has become a powerful engine for growth, innovation, and competitive advantage. However, this opportunity comes with increased scrutiny, mounting regulatory obligations, and heightened enforcement risks. Organizations operating across borders must now contend with a labyrinth of export control laws, trade restrictions, sanctions, and compliance frameworks that vary significantly by jurisdiction. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant fines, criminal liability, reputational damage, and operational disruptions. The Trade Compliance and Export Control Regulations course by Pideya Learning Academy is meticulously designed to help professionals understand, implement, and manage effective compliance programs that align with international legal standards while supporting organizational strategy and resilience.
Trade compliance is no longer an isolated legal function; it is a cross-functional imperative affecting supply chains, finance, procurement, technology, and executive decision-making. The complexity and cost of non-compliance are escalating. According to a 2023 study by Dun & Bradstreet, 65% of multinational companies reported disruptions in their supply chains due to inadequate compliance screening, while enforcement statistics from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) reveal over $1.2 billion in civil and criminal penalties in 2022 alone. These figures reflect the increasing global pressure to uphold export regulations such as the U.S. EAR, ITAR, EU Dual-Use Regulation, and numerous jurisdiction-specific embargo laws. In a global trade environment impacted by shifting geopolitical alliances, evolving sanctions regimes, and technological transfers, knowledge and vigilance are no longer optional.
This advanced course by Pideya Learning Academy provides a structured and actionable learning pathway for professionals seeking to master the regulatory landscape of international trade. Participants will explore the foundational and advanced elements of trade compliance—from classifying goods and technologies, navigating export licensing processes, and conducting restricted party screenings, to implementing internal controls that withstand regulatory scrutiny. The curriculum blends policy understanding with operational execution, ensuring learners can confidently interpret legal mandates and translate them into day-to-day business practices.
Some of the core highlights of this Trade Compliance and Export Control Regulations training include:
A detailed breakdown of global trade regulations and key jurisdictional differences across the U.S., EU, and other markets
Step-by-step guidance on export licensing, dual-use classification, and managing compliance documentation
Techniques for restricted party screening, supplier vetting, and third-party due diligence
Strategies to develop internal compliance programs that are resilient, scalable, and audit-ready
Case-based scenarios to identify red flags and stay informed on enforcement trends and global sanctions
Coverage of emerging areas such as cybersecurity risks in trade transactions and digital compliance tools
Insights into building a compliance-driven corporate culture and aligning legal mandates with strategic goals
Participants will also benefit from hands-off scenario analysis that brings to life the most common challenges companies face in trade compliance—such as re-export violations, transshipment fraud, and misclassification of technology. These real-world perspectives enable learners to develop risk-mitigation strategies tailored to their specific organizational contexts.
By the end of the course, attendees will have the confidence and competence to engage with global trade frameworks, ensure due diligence across cross-border transactions, and lead enterprise-wide compliance programs. Whether your organization operates within aerospace, telecommunications, manufacturing, logistics, or financial services, the knowledge and insights gained through this Pideya Learning Academy training will deliver measurable value and long-term regulatory resilience.
