As shared by 2024 training attendee Kelsey Litte, Small Business Development Consultant with the Missouri SBDC at Missouri South State University – “I am thrilled to share that I took the Certified Global Business Professional exam today (September 2024) and passed! I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the invaluable training and support provided during the CGBP preparation course. The structure of the sessions and the depth of content covered were instrumental in my preparation. I especially appreciated having access to the recorded trainings—being able to revisit and review the material on my own was incredibly helpful in solidifying my understanding of key concepts.

Thank you to training instructor Jim Foley and the ITC team for the dedication to helping students succeed. Your expertise, encouragement, and the engaging way the training material was presented made a significant difference in my exam preparation journey. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and grow my professional skills.”
