Testimonials

  • testmilosdukatI am writing this feedback to thank to all team of eBSI for the work they do and to tell those interested in ITS Programme how beneficial it is not just to enlarge your professional knowledge but also to start a new business career. ITS course was my first step into the international trade world. After absolving that course and with my knowledge of languages I got a job as an export manager in Spain. What I highly appreciate on the ITS course is that you can get from this course what you really need either deep knowledge about certain area of International Trade thanks to the high qualified tutors or you can just obtain general knowledge about International Trade which will definitely help you in your further career.

  • review7For me the best part of the programme was the interaction between the participants from the various professional disciplines of international trade, including exporters, importers, bankers, forwarders, marketeers, customs and other professionals. This blending of structured CD ROM content with online tutorials from highly experienced practitioners develops a network of trade contacts that lasts long after completion of the programme.

  • lkdungtestWhat does a Vietnamese trade practitioner lack? Exposure to ICC experts, exchange with colleagues working in 'big name' organisations, and especially important - real case studies from all over the world. I got all these invaluable resources from eBSI at a cost which was great value for money. And amazingly enough, studying from home I was able to get an internationally recognized certificate!

  • “I really enjoyed and benefited from communicating with Thomas during my studies at ITS Accreditation Programme. Thomas is a highly experienced trade practitioner and a great tutor with outstanding communication skills. The online sessions he carried out were great, with simple explanations of the material and the relevant examples. Feedback from Thomas on the Open Exercises was very clear with supporting direction provided. I do not hesitate to highly recommend Thomas to anyone interested in the area of International Trade.”

  • testvmoraruI graduated ITS accreditation in 2004. Living in the Republic of Moldova, it was so convenient to study this well-designed and interesting program! It is very useful to enlarge existing knowledge and to extend horizon with the specified practical issues for those persons wishing to improve their qualifications. The Exchange of experience and special networking between trainers (always happy to help you and to gave knowledge and advice) and students from different countries makes the program very valuable!
    I truly recommend these studies for those willing to get interesting jobs, to fulfill professional duties at the highest level, and to became appreciated (and highly compensated) specialist.
