  • testnmeumieichievaI looked at traditional learning but with my busy work schedule it didn't suit me. With the eBSI course, I could study when I wanted. Some days I didn't study much, then other times I would sit down and do a lot all together - and there was always guidance and encouragement from the eBSI team... as well as deadlines for assessment submission!!! This helped me to keep a good study rhythm and to get the best out of the course. At the very least, the ITS qualification I have gained will be a very useful compliment to my banking experience on my CV!

  • 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!!!

  • testgattohI think the ITS Accreditation programme is a must for all international trade practitioners. For me, taking the ITS Accreditation course immediately after my LLM (International Trade Law) at the University of East Anglia,,Norwich, UK was a pure delight. The e-commerce module of the course was particularly complimentary and useful. The course content was very well developed, informative and innovative. The tutors were very friendly and supportive. In fact going through the ITS Accreditation was very beneficial to me both as a lawyer and a customs officer, and I do not hesitate to recommend it to all involved in the various aspects of international trade: custom officials, forwarding agents, bankers, etc.

  • 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.
    It is a home-based program which you can follow on your own time.
    I really recommend the program to anybody interested in Export and the different issues around it.

  • review11The online sessions proved very useful in communicating online with course lecturers and fellow students. I could cover the course material at my own pace and in my own time. I found the comprehensive materials contained in the CD ROMs of the ITS programme to contain a wealth of information for the would be exporter.
