  1. A CBP-selected accreditor must review and accredit training offered by a U.S. government agency for the training to be qualified for continuing broker education credit.
  2. Qualifying continuing broker education may only be offered by private entities that have successfully passed the CBP-selected accreditor evaluation process.

Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: C. C: Any training or educational activity whose content is relevant to customs business offered by CBP does not require accreditation.

Training offered by CBP, online or in person, qualifies when its content is relevant to customs business, and accreditation is not required for training offered by U.S. government agencies (111.103(a)(1)(i)). So C is right. Other agencies' training can qualify too (D is wrong), and A is wrong because no accreditor review is needed for government training. B is wrong because government agencies are qualifying providers.

Accreditation is not required for trainings or educational activities offered by U.S. government agencies. 19 CFR 111.103(a)(1)(i)
