International Trade Finance

FITTskills courses are completed over 3 months. Your assessment deadline will be 3 calendar months after the date you register.

The courses and 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 course or workshop material, and other factors. We generally estimate it will take 30-45 hours to complete a course if you are completely new to international trade, or closer to 15-20 hours if you already have 2 or more years of experience.

We recognize your development in our FITTskills program with the following global trade credentials:

• 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

The FITTskills workshops cover the same material as the FITTskills courses, but are divided into smaller sections (modules) for those interested in completing specific sections on their own or to focus on learning the material one topic at a time.

However, each re-write must take place within 90 days of the previous re-written assessment deadline, and there is a fee of $100 plus applicable taxes per re-write. You can request to re-take an assessment by filling out an Assessment Registration Form.

A refund, minus a course/workshop withdrawal processing fee, may be granted if you formally request a refund from a course/workshop within 7 days after the registration date, provided the course/workshop assessment is deemed not to have been written. No refund will be issued if you withdraw more than 7 days after your registration date.

Course/Workshop Withdrawal Processing Fee:

The withdrawal processing fee is equivalent to 30% of the net amount paid per course/workshop. The net amount paid is calculated as the list price minus any applicable discount.
