The Virtual Customs Orientation Academy (VCOA)

Publish Date: 
15 Aug 2023

The World Customs Organization (WCO) has extended an invitation to Customs authorities to nominate candidates to complete its online training, which will close on August 18.

The Virtual Customs Orientation Academy (VCOA) was introduced in 2014. This programme offers a 14-week tutored online course via the CLiKC! platform for newly recruited Customs officers. The courses offered under the VCOA aim to provide Customs inductees with knowledge about core Customs competencies, the concepts of clearance procedures and practices, international standards and conventions, and how to apply them in the workplace.

Twice a year, a WCO letter is sent out to member administrations, inviting them to nominate candidates for the programme. There is a two-phase nomination process (1) be nominated by their administrations (2) complete an online questionnaire which is used for the selection process.

The Virtual Academy brings regional and global Customs knowledge to the future Customs generation and offers a unique opportunity for new recruits to build worldwide professional networks amongst the Customs Community.

The details of the nomination are accessible at:
