Certificate in International Trade
International Trade Certificate Program
The Institute’s Certificate in International Trade Program is designed to build a comprehensive set of skills that help you assess the opportunities and risks encountered in international business. Upon completion of our trainings, you will be equipped with the knowledge and credentials needed to succeed in a globally competitive marketplace.
To achieve certification, participants must attend trainings covering 48 hours, one World Trade Day conference, and one World Trade Center Denver Annual Membership Gathering. The trainings can be completed in one term, although courses may be taken at your own pace across multiple terms, not to exceed three years. Upon completion of the program, graduates will receive a certificate.
