CTPAT Programs

CTPAT training helps importers, exporters, and supply chain teams strengthen security, prepare for certification or re-validation, and support ongoing compliance with CBP expectations. Our programs are designed for individuals, teams, and supply chain partners who need practical guidance on CTPAT requirements, Minimum Security Criteria, and training documentation.

Why CTPAT training matters?

A strong CTPAT program depends on participation across the supply chain, not just one department. Employees involved in receiving, sourcing, logistics, and security all need to understand their role in protecting supply chain integrity. Training should be scheduled regularly, documented, and incorporated into new-hire orientation and ongoing compliance efforts.

Who is this training for?

This training is a great fit for:

Importers and exporters working towards CTPAT certification or re-validation
Current CTPAT members who need CBP-mandated training and refreshers on Minimum Security Requirements
Supply chain, logistics, compliance, and security teams that need a clear understanding of CTPAT expectations.
Companies that want to train internal staff, overseas partners, or vendor networks on supply chain security practices.
