About This Event

Regarded as one of the largest and most important trading hubs in the world, the Middle East is struggling to keep up with the endless opportunities for trade arising every day. The constant demand for trade financing tells us that businesses seek to capitalise on trading opportunities that require funding far in excess of their cash reserves. Of course, as a professional in trade finance, you already know all of this. Most of your industry peers recognise these facts as well. That is why competition has skyrocketed to new heights in recent years. Make your position clear in this market and pull yourself above the fray by gaining a professional, internationally recognised insight into Trade Finance at the new, highly interactive Certified Trade Finance Specialist (CTFS) course in association with the American Academy of Financial Management. Enable yourself to manage complex risks associated with trade financing, develop effective contracts, protect against late and non-delivery, create effective trade finance frameworks and much more. This five-day course has been specially designed with you, the trade finance professional, in mind with practical tools for gaining a critical edge on your competitors. The insightful content of this course is essential to allow you and your company to cut through the competitive clutter in trade financing and rise up as a market leader in this lucrative but complex industry.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for both small and large merchants alike. However any manager involved in trade finance who prices deals, establishes contracts, manages accounts receivables or plans cash flow would benefit from this course. In addition, bankers who deal with merchants directly by selling them financial advice and strategies or are looking to understand the various options used in trade finance as well as controlling risk auditing processes will benefit from this course substantially.
