SJC Customs Training

Passing the U.S. customs broker license examination takes time, sometimes more than one time.  Typically, a first-time exam candidate may begin preparing a few months in advance of the exam and then discover that the exam date arrives too quickly for sufficient preparation.  It is completely normal for these exam candidates to need more than one time to pass.  In fact, it is not abnormal or unusual to have to take the exam several times in order to pass.  (YOU try it, if you think otherwise.)

Usually this happens not because the exam candidate is somehow incapable; rather, the material covered on the exam is so vast that it can take up to a year or more to go over it and understand it at the level and in the amount necessary to be in a position to pass.   Today’s busy lifestyles and rigorous work schedules only add to this challenge by limiting the amount of time available to study.

SJC believes that that not only is it normal to take the exam more than once, it is commendable.  Beyond the eventual pass and license you receive, you will likely experience the following benefits:

1. Self-satisfaction and admiration of others for not giving up and finishing what you started
2. Deeper understanding of the customs regulations than those who studied only a few months
3. Wider and stronger network of industry colleagues with whom you journey together on this path

Because re-taking the exam is therefore arguably as worthwhile as passing on the first attempt, SJC is offering a “multi-time discount” of 33% on its prep course fee to exam candidates who have taken the exam two or more times and wish to take it again on the next exam date.    Also, if you have paid once for SJC’s course, you will never have to pay again to attend in the future, should you wish to re-take the exam.

Every year an average of approximately 85% of all exam takers do not pass and those 15% or so who do pass consist substantially of multiple-time takers.    Congratulations to those who pass right away.  Multiple congratulations to those who pass on their second, third, fourth, etc. attempt.
