BEIJING 2010 TRADE ROUTES TO RECOVERY What was anticipated to be the biggest ICC Banking Commission meeting ever had to be postponed due to an EU Travel restriction cancelling over 16,000 flights around Europe after an Icelandic Volcano eruption spewed ash and dust particles into the atmosphere casting a shroud over Europe for a week which potentially could damage aircraft engines. Due to the danger, Eurocontrol took the dramatic step to ban all civilian flights in Europe just days before the ICC Banking Commission was set to take place in Beijing. The Beijing meeting was anticipated to become the a record breaking ‘Banking Commission Meeting’ due largely to the meticulous planning by ICC China. The Beijing meeting had an agenda cram packed with practical action oriented topics. An ICC China Trade Finance Forum was planned for April 20th and while some of the key speakers could not get to China due to the volcanic ash the event went ahead and was well attended, particularly by Chinese and regional delegates. The options open to the ICC Banking Commission due to this exceptional circumstance are being considered and members of the commission from more than 100 countries are anxiously awaiting the outcome.
Vincent O’Brien, ICC Representative to the WTO Expert Group on Financial Crisis said ‘members of the commission did everything humanly possible to make it to China – it was such a pity as ICC China had planned this event to be a showcase event in the history of the ICC Banking Commission’.

The ITS Accreditation was very beneficial for upgrading my business skills. I have got an Executive MBA in 1998, and I was looking for a certified program in the field of international trade that should be comprehensive, of high quality, with top faculties available anytime for whatever questions you might get in your project work, or training sessions. The eBSI was the right school for me. I was exciting to observe and take part in the creation of an international mindset. I had fun, every on-line session I spent enriched me with good business knowledge and understanding of people and cultures.|
The ITS Programme proved to be an excellent training course for me. I found it of immense benefit in my work. The Interactive CDRoms, online communication with tutors were very engaging, fun and incredibly useful. I express my sincere thanks and appreciation for eBSI support during the ITS Accreditation. Substantial savings were achieved as of the direct result of knowledge gained from the course. Recognition for the quality course content is acknowledged at corporate level in the USA, Canada and Europe Thanks Thomas July 9, 2011

After considerable research, I finally opted for this programme. It really does cover the fundamental aspects of International Trade in an innovative, relevent and above all practical manner. Tutors are highly experienced with excellent communication skills, and the online campus and student interaction is a major benefit. Highly recommended and very worthwhile indeed!
I found the entire course very beneficial as it allowed me to get a better knowledge of certain areas that were relatively new to our company. I also found the workshops and online sessions very interesting as they provided me with the opportunity to interact with the other participants and to hear their opinions on the topics discussed. The continuous assessment was an excellent method of reinforcing a lot of the material that I had studied on the CD Roms. The availability of a forum of the website is an excellent idea for any future queries that we may have and to keep up to date with the latest developments.
I am currently undertaking the international trade specialist course delivered by elearning by the electronic business school of Ireland. It so far I can say that I like the course materials and the online support structure which allows me to fit my learning in when it is convenient for me. This is especially important for me given my many tasks in Nigerian Export Import Bank and other activities. I find the Finance course especially practical since I can post technical questions on forums and receive replies from ICC experts.|
“I recommend Thomas and the work he has developed on the ITS program. I took the program about two years ago and it is a very well designed program which will give a sound knowledge on Export Market, E-commerce, Finance. It is very flexible and with a lot of support and a virtual campus where you can bring comments into it or enter the forum and read other users comments and discussions.

International Trade can be a difficult subject to teach especially to someone like myself, not having had exams since my leaving cert 16 years ago but because of the expert panel, the fully interactive media and the fact I could work in a time that suited me - that made studying so much easier.|
“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.” Irina Bogomolova, Head of International Payments Dept. at Rosdorbank |

I 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.
I just returned today from vacations and was very very pleased to receive so high assessment of my results. Thank you very much for your support during the learning process and your kind words. I was happy to participate in the program and I learned a lot from it. It was a big pleasure to cooperate with you and your colleagues, and we will stay in touch!
