Lasedel Training Academy — September 2026 intake
Why Train With Lasedel

Not academic theory.
Practical trade practice.

Every module is designed and delivered by working customs, trade and shipping professionals — not academics reading from textbooks. Real cases, current legislation, and the everyday judgement that comes with three decades of practice.

01

Practitioner-Led

Every hour is taught by licensed customs brokers, trade consultants and shipping agents currently working with clients — not by professional educators.

02

Current & Real

Case studies are drawn from live Lasedel engagements. What you study on Wednesday can be what a practitioner is filing on Thursday.

03

Hands-On Cases

You'll prepare real declarations, work through actual classifications, and solve compliance problems the way a working broker would.

04

Career-Ready

Graduates leave with skills employers actively look for — and are often hired by companies that recognise Lasedel training.

Certificate Programmes

One professional path.

Frequently Asked

Questions we hear most often.

Short answers to the practical questions students ask before enrolling — schedules, payments, prerequisites, and what to expect from your first week.

Have a question that isn't answered here? Speak with the team directly on WhatsApp or by phone.
01.
When does the next intake start?
Our upcoming intake begins on Sunday 7 September 2026. Registration closes on 30 August 2026 and class size is capped at 15 students to keep teaching hands-on.
02.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Every programme fee is available in three instalments — first instalment at registration, second at mid-programme, third before final module. Terms are outlined at confirmation.
03.
Do I need experience to enrol?
The Level 1 Certificate in Customs Brokerage has no prerequisite. Intermediate and Advanced programmes assume prior completion of the Level 1 certificate or equivalent working experience — we'll confirm fit during registration.
04.
Are classes online or in-person?
Currently all programmes are delivered in-person in Georgetown, Guyana. This is deliberate — the case-based practical work is difficult to replicate over video. Corporate in-house programmes can be delivered at your site.
05.
Do you help with job placement?
We do not run a formal placement programme, but graduates are often hired directly by companies that recognise Lasedel training — including businesses working with our consultancy. Kadisha Nero's story reflects a common outcome.
06.
Can my company sponsor training for a team?
Yes — corporate sponsorship and dedicated in-house programmes are both available. Contact us to discuss group rates, custom content, or bespoke workshops designed around your operations.

Registration closes 30 August 2026.

Fifteen seats. Three programmes. Twelve weeks of practitioner-led training that starts your career in Guyanese trade.
