How the workshops are organized

Each module can be taken as a standalone session or as part of the full five-module program. The content is designed to be self-contained within each module, while the full program provides a connected progression from documentation to market entry.

Sessions are workshop-format: a mix of presentation, guided document analysis, and structured exercises. There are no passive lectures — participants engage with real materials throughout.

The content is updated periodically to reflect changes in AFIP regulations, BCRA currency rules, and Incoterms applications relevant to Argentine exporters.
