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 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.![]() |
“I have no hesitation to recommend ITS Accreditation and Export Training Programmes, as a person who had been actively involved (working in Ireland) in its launching in 2001-2002. It is great professional pleasure having seen that ten years after its foundation eBSI Export Academy programmes are attracting so many professionals worldwide keen to improve their knowledge in International Finance Methods and International Trade Practice. |
For 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.
My experience with the International Trade Specialist Training Programme has opened new doors and presented new opportunities for my company. The course material was concise and laid out in plain easy to understand language. The elearning dimension was of tremendous benefit as I could learn in my own time and the online sessions added to that benefit. The staff at ebsi are exceptionally professional in their methodology and this added significantly to my experience. I have no difficulty in endorsing the ITS accreditation programme and in recommending it to anyone interested in the area of International Trade.|
“Thomas Smith knows his subject very well. He articulates his thoughts in a very communicative manner through his notes for us to understand the subject very well. When you have read his notes, you don't need to look anywhere else for clarifications - very thorough and precise! Look forward to more online classes with him.”

I express my sincere thanks and appreciation for eBSI support during the ITS Accreditation. Substantial savings achieved at "Magna Donnelly" are a direct result of knowledge gained from the course. Recognition for the quality course content is acknowledged at corporate level in the US and Canada.
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!
I 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!
What 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!
