Curriculum Summary

WHY YOUR CHOICE OF STUDY MATERIALS IS SO CRITICAL

THE NATIONAL PASSING AVERAGE

The October 22, 2025, Customs Broker License Examination (CBLE) had a 12% pass rate. This is lower than the previous exam’s pass rate of 30%.  Sadly, less than 5% of those taking the test pass on their first attempt, because of the lack of proper test preparation.

All our study materials were designed after several years of listening to what our students were saying they needed to perform better on the Customs Broker Test. (see About Us)
