What our trainees say

“IVS have been instrumental in assisting me during my time training to obtain my Customs Unique User Identification Pin. Traveling from Dunedin was always going to be a challenge however Erica and her team in the office were very informative and always ensured I was kept up to date with any course changes and ensured my time on the course was enjoyable and comfortable. Janet presented the course in a fun and relaxed environment which ensured 100% focus on the material without the element of boredom creeping in. She made herself accessible between the modules of the course to answer any questions I had which made study outside of the classroom atmosphere a lot easier.

Thank you to all involved at IVS for assisting me to reach my Goal in becoming a Customs Broker”
