✅Includes practical AI prompts for research, documentation, and compliance workflows
Built by a senior in-house export compliance practitioner with 13+ years of real-world experience.
This Program Is for Professionals Who Want to Feel More Confident Handling
Export Compliance
You are responsible for export, trade, or compliance decisions
And you want to stop relying on external consultants and finally understand EU export controls, classification, and sanctions yourself.
You want to feel confident when making export control decisions
Instead of second-guessing yourself or feeling under pressure, you’ll have a clear framework to follow.
You want to step into a more senior or specialized compliance role
And gain the practical skills to assess risks, classify products, and build a real Internal Compliance Program.
This Programme Is Best Suited for Professionals Looking for Practical Application
This is not a purely theoretical legal course or a basic customs procedures training.
The programme is designed for professionals who want to apply export controls and sanctions knowledge in real-world business situations.
If you’re responsible for export compliance — or want to step into this role — this will feel familiar:
You’re not 100% sure your documentation would survive an audit
You rely on brokers or forwarders for compliance decisions
Product classification feels unclear, inconsistent, or risky
There’s no structured Internal Compliance Program in place
You’re making decisions under pressure without a clear framework
You know the risk is real, but never have time to fix it properly
Fines, shipment delays, and reputational damage don’t happen because people ignore regulations, they happen because there’s no CLEAR system in place.
And deep down, you don’t want to be the person who missed something critical.
That’s exactly why Export Compliance Academy was created — to give you clarity, structure, and confidence in your decisions.
Replace uncertainty with a clear export compliance framework
Imagine handling export decisions with clarity — without relying on brokers, guesswork, or undocumented processes.
In just 7 weeks, you won’t just understand export compliance — you will build a system you can actually use.
You will finish the program with:
A clear, documented export compliance decision framework you can apply consistently across products, destinations, and customers
A method to classify products (including dual-use) using logic, not guessing
A written an Internal Compliance Program you can present to auditors
A practical way to evaluate destination, end use, and end user risk and document how decisions were made
A repeatable system that does not depend on one individual’s memory or availability
This is what sustainable international growth looks like: clarity, control, and confidence in every decision you make.
Export compliance mistakes can now lead to criminal liability — including personal consequences
From 2026 across the EU, export compliance is a legal, financial, and personal risk for the people responsible for decisions.
Recent legal changes mean that export control and sanctions violations may result in:
• Criminal investigations
• Personal liability for compliance professionals
• Significant fines and reputational damage
The biggest risk is not intentional wrongdoing.
It’s operating without a clear, documented compliance framework.
And that’s exactly why this programme was created.
Here’s what you’ll build step by step inside the program:
Step 1 —Gain clarity on how export compliance decisions are really made
Step 2 — Classify products with a repeatable decision-making method
Step 3 — Assess export risks properly
Step 4 — Build a practical compliance system you can actually use in your role
You’re not just learning theory — you’re building a system you can actually use.

About Academy Creator
Anna Goncz
For years, I have seen trade and compliance professionals struggle with export controls and sanctions, because the regulations are complex, fragmented, and often difficult to apply in real-world situations.
Many professionals find themselves relying heavily on external consultants, second-guessing their decisions, or feeling uncertain when faced with high-stakes compliance questions.
That's exactly why I created Export Compliance Academy.
With 14 years of experience in export compliance, I help trade and compliance professionals understand EU, UK, and U.S. export controls and sanctions in practice so they can make more confident decisions, reduce reliance on external consultants, and grow into more specialised compliance roles.
Over the years, I've worked across industries including defence, aerospace, semiconductors, software, and technology, supporting organisations operating in complex international environments.
My experience includes guiding companies through government export audits, implementing internal compliance frameworks across multiple jurisdictions, and helping compliance teams navigate regulatory challenges with confidence.
To make complex regulations easier to understand and apply, I developed the C.L.E.A.R. Export Compliance Framework — a structured, practical approach that helps professionals translate regulatory requirements into everyday decision-making.
My goal is simple: to help compliance professionals build the knowledge, judgment, and confidence they need to navigate export controls independently and advance their careers in international trade compliance.
