Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
FAST-TRACK TO A GREAT CAREER IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
 The field of international trade can seem as large and complex as the world itself. Encompassing disciplines such as strategic planning, law, finance, logistics and marketing, attaining a mastery of global trade can seem a daunting challenge. The International Business Management postgraduate program at George Brown College simplifies the complex field of international business with dynamic and interactive teaching methods, including case analysis and guest speakers.
The International Business Management postgraduate program can also prepare students to pursue three industry designations/certifications in addition to the George Brown College graduate certificate if they choose to do so. These industry designations/certifications require additional exams and/or related work experience to qualify. Please check out the official websites listed below to find the detailed requirements set by the granting bodies of these designations/certifications.
The three industry designations/certifications are:
- Certified International Trade Professional (CITP) designation offered by FITT (fitt.ca). Please view equivalency course chart at georgebrown.ca/FITT and the educational partnership agreement below.
- Certified Customs Specialist (CCS) designation offered by the Canadian Society of Customs Brokers (cscb.ca)
- Certificate in International Freight Forwarding (CIFFA), recognized and approved by the Federation of International Freight Forwarding Associations (ciffa.com)
Note: The requirements for each designation/certification are set by the granting body, not George Brown College. In order to qualify for any of these designations/certifications, you need to follow the process listed on its website and meet all the requirements applicable to you.
Accredited Partnership with FITT
 George Brown College has partnered with FITT (Forum for International Trade Training) to offer the FITTskills program. FITT is an international trade training and professional certification body. As the only organization of its kind in the world, FITT sets the standards and designs the training programs leading to the Certified International Trade Professional (CITP) designation. FITT’s quality training programs impart knowledge and practical skills that provide a competitive advantage to trade practitioners and elevate their position in world markets.
“One of the most important things I learned in the program is how to work effectively in groups, which is what happens in the real world. You rely on a team to accomplish everything. I just happen to rely on co-workers thousands of miles away, but it is the same idea.”
Stefano Pascucci
(2008 graduate, International Business Management)
