Can I purchase training for multiple people at once, or take FITTskills online training with others at the same time? If so, are there any discounts available?

FITT offers flexible online training for a team, department or the entire organization, which means organizations get the benefit of bulk discounts and team members get the flexibility to take one course/workshop individually at a time, at their own pace. Organizations can purchase training codes online for 10 or more courses/workshops as needed. Company discounts range from 10% off to 33% off, depending on how many courses or workshops you pre-pay for at once.

Once you’ve pre-paid, you’ll receive instructions and a set of pre-paid training codes. Distribute your codes as desired and your colleagues or employees will have a minimum of 6 months from your organization’s date of purchase to redeem them online to start FITTskills online training.

What currency are prices listed in?

All prices listed on FITTforTrade.com are in CAD.

Which course or workshop should I take first? Is there a required order?

We generally recommend taking the courses in the order listed on our online courses page, starting with Feasibility of International Trade. But there is not a required order for FITTskills courses and workshops.

How many hours does it take to complete an online course or workshop?

The courses and workshops are self-paced, so the time required will vary from person to person depending on how you study, your pre-existing knowledge of the course or workshop material, and other factors. We generally estimate it will take 30-45 hours to complete a course if you are completely new to international trade, or closer to 15-20 hours if you already have 2 or more years of experience. Similarly, we estimate it will take 10-15 hours to complete a workshop if you are completely new to international trade, or closer to 5-8 hours if you already have 2 or more years of experience.
