Course Information

Courses are available in various locations with some online availability. A typical training set is 5 days, distributed over a 30 day period with a 1 day exam. When these training sets are offered at SBDCs, most follow the Export Training Assistance Partnership (ETAP) model. The training sets are a combination of classroom and self-study.

Besides attending the modules, participants are expected to study. People without international trade experience will require a significant amount of outside study if they wish to sit for the national NASBITE CGBP exam.

Course cost ranges from $300 to $1000, with an average cost of $700.

Audience

In order to get the CGBP credential participants must have completed at least two years of college-level classes or worked in the international trade field at least two years.
