Complete cotton

Whether involved in growing, spinning or trading cotton, 'Complete Cotton' is a fantastic opportunity for individuals from the cotton community, or those new to the industry, to gain an insight into every aspect of the raw cotton trade.

What is Complete Cotton?

It is an intensive two-week training programme that focuses on key areas such as arbitration, contract law, risk management and control. It provides a unique opportunity to learn about the complexities of the cotton industry from some of the world’s leading professionals.

Who should attend?

Complete Cotton is aimed at individuals of all ages from within the cotton community - including cotton producers, ginners, exporters, merchants, agents, importers, spinners and other allied trades.

Added value

As part of the training programme we also offer a complimentary ICA membership package for each delegate and the opportunity to sit the ICA Arbitrator Training Course and Exam (Basic Level 1) for FREE.

When is the next Complete Cotton and what is the cost?

There are 35 places available on the course and, when we have enough interest, we will schedule a date. The cost is based on a number of things - the duration of the course, hotel costs and the number of training modules included. To give you an idea, in the past, a two-week course in the UK with 30+ training modules cost approximately £3,000 (+ VAT). The price included the training and training materials, accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis, lunch and refreshments on working days, the cost of visits and transport between events during the training programme.

A discount is available for ICA members or employees of firms registered with the ICA.
