Export Control Compliance Training Resources
Summary
The UK's Export Control Joint Unit and Department for Business and Trade have updated their guidance on export control compliance training. The page provides links to various training resources including courses, seminars, workshops, and webinars designed to help exporters understand their obligations under UK export control legislation.
What changed
This document is a guidance page from the UK government detailing available training resources for export control compliance. It lists various formats such as courses, seminars, workshops, and webinars offered by the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) and the Department for Business and Trade. The training aims to enhance understanding of UK strategic export controls for businesses of all sizes and government organizations.
The page was last updated on February 19, 2026, with specific updates noting booked events and the addition of new webinar links.

No specific compliance deadlines or penalties are mentioned in relation to accessing this training, but understanding these controls is crucial for legal export operations.
What to do next
