ITAR & EAR Basics | October 9, 2025 @ 1PM-4PM ET

Export controls are complex — and mistakes are costly. Whether you’re exporting defense articles, dual-use technologies, or providing technical data overseas, understanding the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is critical to protecting your company from penalties, delays, and reputational risk.

This course empowers your employees with the competence to manage effective training programs in export controls. The number of sectors at high-risk for non-compliance continues to grow, and each level of your business must understand their role to maintain a tailored ITAR/EAR compliance plan that grows along with your business. This course takes you from complexity to clarity, and from exposure to risk to mitigation of risk. Whether already subject to ITAR and EAR compliance, or considering involvement in export control activities, this course is the critical first step in compliance.
