Our FITTskills series of comprehensive international business courses teaches you the competencies you need for a competitive career in global trade. The competencies developed by completing the entire FITTskills program meet the educational requirement for the elite Certified International Trade Professional (CITP®|FIBP®) designation.

The workshops were developed by dividing the courses into smaller sections (course modules) for those interested in focusing on learning the material one topic at a time.

• FITTskills courses are completed over 3 months (20-40 hours)
• FITTskills workshops are completed over 1 month (10-15 hours)

FITTskills workshops are completed over 1 month. Your exam deadline will be 1 calendar month after the date you register.

The FITTskills 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 workshop material, and other factors. 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.

The material for this workshop is taken from the International Sales & Marketing FITTskills online course. Successfully completing this workshop will earn you partial credit towards that course.

When you successfully complete this workshop and the 2 other workshops taken from that course, Selling to International Markets and E-commerce, you will receive the full credit for that course. This credit will then count towards earning your FITT Certificate in International Trade and your FITT Diploma in International Trade.

• FITT Certificate in International Trade – Earned after successful completion of 3 FITTskills courses and assessments
• FITT Diploma in International Trade – Earned after successful completion of all 6 FITTskills courses and assessments
