A NEW diploma course for Customs brokers is expected to do well, with the Customs Brokers and Forwarders Council of Australia (CBFCA) saying it is approved by the National Skills Standards Council.
The Diploma of Customs Broking is the first qualification at diploma level that takes into account changes in the Australian Customs and Border Protection Services (ACBPS) Customs brokers licensing qualifications/requirements.
The new course comprises 18 units of study, which is a significant expansion on the 11-unit course previously approved by the ACBPS as a pre-requisite for the licensing of Customs brokers.
According to CBFCA, the higher academic rigour in the diploma reflects the increased role of Customs brokers in the enhanced licensing conditions. Key topics will be examined in far greater depth than in the previous course.
CBFCA says the diploma will suit new entrants to the industry and existing licensed Customs brokers who want to add the diploma to their qualifications portfolio via Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). The RPL process allows experienced Customs brokers to have their experience recognised in lieu of completing the course and to receive the Diploma of Customs Broking without attending classes. Details about these arrangements can be obtained through the CBFCA.
