Centre for Customs and Excise Studies wins ACT Export Award
The Centre develops and exports a comprehensive range of postgraduate and vocational training programs which have a high degree of international relevance and uniqueness, and which reflect the latest developments in international theory and practice in the field of customs management. These programs utilise a range of flexible learning methods and are capable of being delivered online as well as through face-to-face delivery, either on campus in Canberra or overseas. Through its close association with the School of Law, the Centre offers postgraduate study opportunities at the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Masters levels. The Centre's vocational training programs are capable of being tailored to suit the specific requirements of the client administration. Over thirty such programs are either currently being offered or are in various stages of development, all of which reflect world best practice in customs management and operational techniques. These programs cover a broad range of customs technical subjects as well as management and leadership issues, legal topics, commercial practice, and contemporary issues such as international supply chain security and new and emerging technologies. In addition, the Centre is involved in an extensive program of high-level international consultancy, advisory services and applied research activities relating to customs management, practice, reform and modernisation. In announcing the award, it was noted that the Centre for Customs and Excise Studies is already emerging as the world leader in its international niche market. Through its commitment to innovation, quality and global marketing, it has achieved a reputation for excellence with organisations such as the World Bank, ASEAN and APEC. The Centre remains committed to maintaining its competitive advantage by further developing its strategic alliances and ensuring that its products and services remain innovative, cutting-edge and internationally accessible. Its expanding, highly-skilled workforce is achieving this through the ongoing refinement of its innovative service delivery techniques which seek to exploit the benefits of leading edge technology. Well done indeed, a fine example of innovation and commitment. Roger Dean
