International Trade Council Partners with International Centre for Trade Transparency to Expand Professional Certification Program

Singapore – June 10, 2026 – The International Trade Council (ITC), in a joint initiative with the International Centre for Trade Transparency (ICTTM), has officially announced the global expansion of its suite of professional certificate courses. In an effort to support global economic growth and minimize compliance bottlenecks, these specialized training programs are being offered completely free of charge to business leaders worldwide.

The comprehensive curriculum is hosted directly on ICTTM’s advanced trade-intelligence ecosystem, ADAMftd, and can be accessed immediately at:

As regulatory environments grow increasingly complex, the partnership aims to lower the barrier to entry for cross-border commerce. By eliminating the standard $499.00 to $699.00 enrollment fees, the initiative provides companies of all sizes—particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—with the critical tools required to navigate modern compliance, risk management, and international logistics.

The open-access catalog includes a diverse range of foundational and intermediate courses, each structured to deliver immediate operational value:

Empowering Global Business Resilience

The shifting dynamics of international trade place a heavy premium on specialized knowledge. Mistaking an Incoterm, misclassifying a tariff code, or failing to report carbon metrics can result in costly border delays, severe financial penalties, or seized cargo. By delivering professional-grade certification at zero cost, the International Trade Council and the International Centre for Trade Transparency are helping businesses proactively audit their protocols, build resilient distribution networks, and scale their international operations.
