Export Import Management Course in Delhi NCR
FTA001

If you’re thinking about building a career in Export-Import, you’ve probably asked yourself a few questions already.
Do I need prior experience? Will I actually learn the practical side of the job? Is this course suitable if I’m changing careers or planning to start exporting my own products?
The answer is yes. This course is designed for beginners as well as working professionals who want to understand how international trade works beyond the theory.

The Export Import Management Course (FTA001) at Foreign Trade Academy focuses on the work you’ll actually come across in the industry. Over 2.5 months, you’ll learn how export documentation is prepared, how customs clearance works, what FEMA procedures involve, how DGFT registrations, EPCG, and Duty Drawback schemes are used, and why each step matters. Rather than simply explaining these topics, we work through real documents, practical exercises, and business scenarios so the learning feels relevant from the very beginning.

Whether you’re a recent graduate, someone looking for a career change, or a business owner planning to enter international markets, the course is built to give you practical knowledge you can use with confidence. With a 97% placement record, experienced industry trainers, and classes available at our Delhi campus in Shakarpur (near Laxmi Nagar Metro Station) as well as online, FTA continues to help students turn their interest in international trade into a career.

You’ll learn about:

  • Types of cargo and shipping containers
  • International packing and packaging standards

You’ll learn about:

  • FEMA regulations for export and import transactions
  • RBI guidelines for foreign exchange payments
  • Import payment procedures and timelines
  • Export payment realisation and e-BRC compliance

Module 7: Government Export Incentive Schemes

Hands-On Practical Training

One question we hear quite often is, “Will I actually get to work on real export documents?” Absolutely. Practical learning is a core part of FTA001. Instead of only discussing the process, you’ll work through it yourself under the guidance of experienced trainers.

During the course, you’ll:

  • Conduct live market research for export product selection
