This Independent Study provides knowledge and experience for students regarding exports. The method used in this study is in the form of qualitative research by conducting observations, interviews, and discussions with resource persons participating in the Independent Study Program. The observations were made for one semester on participants who became informants in participating in the program. The findings are that students face various obstacles in participating in Export Schools during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Some students feel that the online Export School activity process has become less effective. Various factors that cause difficulties in participating in independent study activities at the Export School are described, along with solutions to overcome these problems, such as the need for offline export practices.
