Self-Led Training


The Export READI™ Online program was developed by Firecircle in partnership with TIAC. Through a clear, step-by-step approach, participants will learn how to identify the right markets, create trade-ready products, build valuable partnerships, and promote their business with purpose.

The five-module program includes approximately 35 minutes of concise video instruction designed to introduce key concepts and practical strategies in an accessible format. Following each module, participants work through guided worksheets and practical exercises designed to help apply the concepts directly to their own business. Depending on the depth of detail and planning involved, completing the full workbook may take approximately 5–10 hours. Together, the videos and worksheets provide operators with a strong understanding of export readiness and a practical foundation for building their own export plans.
