Slide "My experience at BIBF was nothing less than spectacular and very informative, the instructor (Dr. Chithra) was very helpful and supportive and she never spared any effort in providing us previous exams and mock tests to make sure and track the students' progress.
CITF is an technical certificate that needed background of relevant field, which I didn't and it was very challenging to me, however I managed to pass from my very first attempt due to instructor's efforts and follow up. I highly recommend students to consider CITF as its really important to explore various aspects of international trade and how to mitigate risks and use the right methods in settling payments. Today CITF text book is a very reliable reference that have bolstered my understanding to international trade environment."
