  • testjwattersThe International Trade Specialist Training Programme is an essential course in foreign trade. It brings in different elements, that in the day-to-day running of my job, I would not encounter otherwise. With working a 5-day week from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, the CD ROM & online tuition, lets you learn the subjects at your ease.

  • test-vgrabI have no doubt that my attendance at EBSI was an exiting but most of all a very useful experience. The course complimented my more theoretical third level studies. I liked the way the topics were taught and these practical methods (especially the graphical representations) made issues clearer and more accessible to the learner. The evaluation techniques were very well developed. I especially appreciated the ways the Incoterms were explained and the Online sessions.
    In conclusion I can say that it was a very, very useful experience for me... especially that the ITS Accreditation compliments so well my Academy diploma!
    Thanks a lot for that wonderful opportunity!!!
