What people are saying

I was able to see the practical application of the topics the course was covering in the work that I do. International Trade Finance covered real issues that the businesses I work with encounter every day.

Nadine Storey, CITP|FIBP, Trade Commissioner, Global Affairs Canada

My FITTskills education provided me with the tacit knowledge I needed to be able to interact with Canadian exporters and use the same language as them. Once I started my own international company, I was able to mitigate risks, such as currency risks, through the knowledge I gained.

International Trade Finance was my favourite FITTskills course. It gave practical information on how to conduct international transactions.
