A recent student survey by The London Institute of Banking & Finance (formerly known as ifs) contained the following highlights:
- 88% of students said that the Certificate in International Trade and Finance (CITF®) was beneficial to the organisation they work for.
- 92% of students said that the Certificate for Documentary Credit Specialists (CDCS®) had helped their professional development / career prospects.
Our online training modules and associated assessments - for both qualifications - not only provide a foundation for the learning process but also facilitate the actual taking of the examinations.
