Online Training: Certified Export Professional (Sundays)

The Certified Export Professional is an experiential learning programme that provides vocational training in export and international trade aimed to instill export skills and competence in individuals who are new to the export trade or are expanding their markets.

As such, it provides the essential expertise, knowledge, and network needed to help businesses grow internationally. As the world becomes a global marketplace, companies both small and big are growing increasingly dependent on their ability to conduct business internationally, especially in developing countries whose economies are largely export-dependent.

The biggest obstacle to international expansion continues to be the lack of qualified export and trade knowledge.
