Certificate in International Trade

Overview

Globalization and information technology are opening potential new markets for international businesses of all sizes. For businesses, understanding the realities of international trade can be a critical competitive edge, giving significant advantage over competitors. To take advantage of these opportunities, special skills and knowledge are required.

The Certificate in International Trade provides skills, knowledge and preparation to overcome cultural barriers, build lasting alliances, and effective costing of market products and services internationally.

The Sales and Marketing component provides students with a variety of skills and competencies in these two essential areas of business. Each course in the program addresses essential topics within the context of global trade, ranging from macro issues such as the global economy to pragmatic topics such as logistic procedures on how to move goods around the world.

Upon completion of the program students qualify for the Ashton College Certificate in International Trade and the Certificate in International Trade from FITT provided that they have completed at least four FITT examinations.

This Program is delivered in alliance with the Forum for International Trade Training (FITT) and the Canadian Professional Sales Association (CPSA).
