Story

The ITM Worldwide Concept is a vocational training programme in trade which is designed to build export competence within SMEs, providing the expertise, knowledge
and networks needed to help businesses grow internationally.

Working with some of Europe’s most renowned and distinguished professors and trade experts, we are able to offer a unique blend of academic and practical training. Our export coaches, all of whom are experienced business people, turn theoretical knowledge into a practical export business plan, and prepare participants for meeting potential customers.

The ITM Worldwide Concept has three clear steps: preparing for export, preparing for the market and business meetings.

The first step comprises seminars in international market research and export sales training, followed by export coaching. This results in the creation and implementation of an export business plan within the SME.

The second step consists of joint international seminars where, together with participants from other countries, the network of colleagues can be enlarged. Seminars on cross-culture, managing change and international trade marketing are delivered in order to implement a strategy.

The third and final step encompasses business meetings, and involves study visits and individual meetings with potential customers abroad, resulting in exportation.


Participants qualify for the IATTO Certified Diploma in International Trade Management, opening the possibility of applying for the IATTO professional designation as a World Trade Professional (WTP). The Diploma also gives access to the ITM Worldwide Alumni Network for lifelong learning and global career and business opportunities.

IATTO is the only global "International Association of Trade Training Organisations".
