Changes to the ITAR and Updated CITI Program Modules

back arrow Back To News

Effective 25 March 2020, the ITAR interim final rule (84 FR 70887) published by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) created a new definition of activities that are not exports, reexports, retransfers, or temporary imports. CITI Program’s Export Compliance (EC) courses have been updated to reflect these changes.

New Dynamic Content Format

As part of our ongoing commitment to learner satisfaction, we are excited to announce that in the upcoming months our Export Compliance (EC) Basic course will be available in both a new dynamic Audio-Visual format and our Classic format. The Audio-Visual format option is the next step in the multi-stage evolution of CITI Program’s content presentation.

There will be no charge for this additional format option, and no action on your part is required to make it available. Learners will still have access to CITI Program’s Classic format.

New Features

  • Dynamic audio-visual slideshow-style presentation with knowledge checks in many of the modules
  • Simple navigation between module sections and individual slides, including a responsive table of contents
  • Ability to resume a module from a previous point
  • Optional audio narration of slides
