Are you a new Customs recruit? The Virtual Customs Orientation Academy is for you!

Twice a year, a letter is sent to WCO Member administrations, inviting them to nominate candidates for the Virtual Customs Orientation Academy (VCOA). Over a period of 14 weeks, the selected officers follow tutored online courses focusing on core Customs competencies, international standards and conventions, as well as the concepts of clearance procedures and related practices, and how to apply them in the workplace. The VCOA takes place on the CLiKC! platform.
