“I get in contact with Mr. Smith during my studies at the E-Business School of Ireland. I want to say, that Mr. Thomas Smith well-educated, intelligent and the high quality specialist. He not only perfectly understands international trade and marketing and has wide experience, but also can explain and teach in the accessible form all interested persons.” Olga Safronova Independent Law Practice Professional |
I’ve just received the certificate of completion. Thanks a lot for giving me the opportunity to study at eBSI. I found that kind of study very interesting. That is something new and really corresponds to the current trends in the area of business education. It has a future! It was very useful for me to communicate with highly experienced tutors and international trade specialists. I hope to continue cooperation with you.
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!
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 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.
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.
I much appreciate ITS Accreditation Programme. I learnt a lot of things which were new for me. The teaching method and the structure of presentation of the studied material are both very good and convenient for students. And also I appreciate very good attitude of the tutors towards students that really helps to get over the difficulties. I'm sure that the Certificate will help me in my future career.![]() |

“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 |

My experience with the ITS course is that International Trade is NOT Commerce,Economics or Business Studies it is simply International Trade so having had diverse experience in Communication,Marketing and Public Relations,I still find the course a novel experience with each phase and module as challenging , stimulating and as rewarding as the others couple with the wizardry expertise, patience, and support of the Lecturers.
