Yaaaaahooooo … I am finally done with my Forum for International Trade (FITT) training and I am now a “Certified International Trade Professional (CITP)“. After eight (over two full days) courses, six (three hours each) exams, one (take home killer) international marketing plan and another (take home killer) international business plan … over almost one year … I finally made it and now I am armed with the understanding, knowledge and official credentials to support the global trade needs of my clients. I had a really fun time in the training and the course has definitely given me a good perspective of matters relating to international trade - a large number of which, surprise surprise, I was previously unaware of. The courses covered eleven core (FITT identified) competencies and it was pretty exhaustive. What I really loved about the course - I took the classroom course delivered at OCRI’s Entrepreneurship Centre - was the stories (around specific topics) that were shared by the course presenters. I have always maintained that no form of training beats “story telling” and the FITT courses once again proved it for me. The collective wisdom of the course presenters - so selflessly and so eloquently shared by them - was priceless.
I am happy to share my experience and provide specific details of the FITT program to anyone who is considering the CITP designation.
