The course combines trainer presentations, group exercises and feedback sessions, and delegate action planning.

Many examples and case studies are used throughout to illustrate key learning points.

Most of these examples are taken from companies who have been through the Passport to Export or other UKTI programmes.

A particular strength of the course is that previous companies attending who have had substantial success through digital marketing activities are showcased as exemplars

The course has been run over 1000 times now in various guises in different UKTI regions and the formal delegate feedback after each delivery is used to constantly modify the materials (over 90% satisfaction rate)
