Welcome to International Trade Certification Program ®

A Non-Profit Created By & For Global Trade Professionals

Accepted and respected worldwide for over 25 years, the International Trade Certification Program (ITCP) ® is the unbiased, independent, standard-setting certification authority that validates the knowledge proficiency of individuals across the international trade industry.

ITCP is solely responsible for the development, validation, maintenance and administration of a wide variety of proficiency examinations offered to individuals within the international trade industry. It does not provide training or examination preparation for the tests it offers, rather it works in tandem with training organizations worldwide to prepare individuals to sit for its various examinations. 

With the help of volunteers worldwide, ITCP has continuously updated certifications and has become a mainstay of organizations involved in the import or export of licensed goods and services worldwide. As we enter into a new chapter, the International Compliance Professionals Association (ICPA) will now be looking after the ITC program and continuing the mission and vision sage set by the founders and volunteers of ITC.
