"I
like to recommend this course for everyone who wants to specialize in
the areas of finance, import & export, distribution or any similar
areas. Coming from Germany with a previous apprenticeship in international
trade I have to say I learnt a lot more here in this course to be prepared
for the practice part as we heard from experienced lecturers working
in the industry and also from guest speakers from great companies like
HP, ESB and others who gave us an interesting view of their work, helping
us to work on our projects and assignments." "The various subject topics are helpful for every kind of work fields and also to build up your own business maybe one day. It definitely helps to find the job you are looking for and enhances your chances against the competition on the market. I found a fabulous position in the finance area and I feel more confident now to be able to take more responsibility and to go on with my career." "For this and all the continuous support, especially by Austin, I am so grateful and would like to say thank all the college lecturers and staff members for this close bond during the time." Heinke Peters (Professional Diploma Graduate 2007) |

the different successful entrepreneurs you brought time to time
to gave us real life experience too. The course gave me the necessary
skills to improve my career. I got a job in an Import/Export

"Austin, having a background in Languages and Businesses I decided to pursue more specialized studies in the International trade area. In a competitive, globalized and ever- changing society. The Professional Diploma provides you with a precise and practical formation in International Trade and E-Business. This course has a high level of teaching and is in itself one large time management exercise in the sense that you have to combine both practical and theoretical classes with home assignments and also have to work both independently or as part of a team. So I can firmly say that this course prepares you for the current market place requirements.Many thanks for your support to you and your fellow lecturers whom I have benefited from all your experience".

"Travelling
abroad is said to broaden one`s mind, through new experiences and
learning from people of different cultures. During the time I was
living in Ireland I had also the opportunity to develop my skills
whilst gaining academic qualifications, thanks to Export Edge Training
and especially Austin and his team of excellent lectures. Thanks a
lot for the support and encouragement offered during the course, I
can say it was not only a nice a experience but also really helpful
in order to gain and develop my skills in the trading field, study
cases and assignments that cover the practical day to day of this
business , thanks again and keep doing this great work!!". "Dicen
que viajar abre la mente, al conocer y aprender de otras culturas.Y
esto mismo me paso a mi, durante el tiempo que vivi en Irlanda.Me
gustaria agradecer a Export Edge y muy en especial a Austin y su gran
equipo de profesores por su buen trabajo, gracias por el apoyo y motivación
brindada durante el curso. Ha sido muy grata experiencia el conoceros
y realmente me ha servido para perfeccionar mis conocimientos en el
mundo del Comercio Internacional, acercandonos casos tan practicos
como el dia a dia en este negocio. Continuar asi y mucha suerte!!"

From
my point of view I could say that the Professional Diploma in Global
trade and e-business is a practical course as it is based in the individual
and team work to solve cases in relation to international law and
finance like letters of credit, trade and customs like requirements
to exports, duties and taxes among other issues concerning the global
trade. The daily work during the course is essential to achieve good
results at the exams. I appreciated the advice from our lecturers
from industry who have helped us by explaining and revising each of
the cases that we had to solve. They provided us with practical and
professional insights to face real cases in the world of export/importation.
The industries need people that are prepared for global changes, a
new generation familiar with the Globalization and able to work with
the new requirements of the European Union. The Professional Diploma
helped me to get involved in the global trade and to be able to work
in an ambitious European Union. |

Feedback
from Marion O'Connell, Professional Diploma Graduate "I am due
to start with Accenture in about a months time, based in London and
i'm really looking forward to it. Believe it or not, but the two modules
I did on the course, namely BIS and E-Business were a great help when
doing the interviews. I start as a business analyst and then after two
years, I should move on to consultancy level. There are lots of training
and good learning opportunities so hopefully it will all work out. So
thanks again Austin for your help and good luck with all the work." Marion O'Connel (Graduate 2004) |

"Graduating
in 2005 from the Prof Diploma by Export Edge was instrumental in my
gaining a full scholarship offered by Simest to a Bocconi/Sapienza 'Masters
in Financial & Business Analyst in Rome. Simest is the national
financial body promoting internationalisation of Italian companies.
On top of that, joining the Prof Diploma meant meeting new international
friends that I value to the highest degree." Domenico Sileo (Graduate 2005) - Hewlett Packard |

"The
course provided with excellent reference points to take my own knowledge
further. As a result, I was successful in winning the national award
of the Institute for the best international trade project, which was
presented to me by Tom Murphy, assistant Head of the Revenue Commissioners.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and close interaction with both lecturers
and fellow students." Andrew Davis (Graduate 2004) - PwC |

not to mention a top award from the Institute" |
