Preparing for the customs broker licence exam.
ICPA does not administer the exam or run prep courses. These are the providers our members use. Contact them directly for schedules, formats and pricing.
- 8 providers
- Online and in person
- Exam administered by CBP
These courses are provided independently of ICPA. Listing one here is a convenience for members, not an endorsement, an accreditation, or a guarantee of a passing result. Compare formats and pricing yourself, and ask each provider which exam sitting their course is built around.
Exam prep is separate from continuing education. A prep course does not earn CE credit, and CE credit does not count toward the exam.

No provider listed for that format.
This is the list members have told us about, not every prep course that exists. If you know one that belongs here, send it to the education team and we will look at adding it.

CBP sets the exam. Start there.
Eligibility, exam dates, application windows, fees and results all come from CBP’s broker licensing page. Prep courses are optional, and are provided independently of CBP and ICPA alike.
The licence is the beginning of an obligation, not the end of one. CBP now requires continuing education of every individual license holder: 20 credits before the 2027 triennial status report.
