eBSI Export Academy to make inroads into Ghana

UK based eBSI Export Academy is hoping to offer more opportunities to Ghanaians to acquire specialised knowledge in the area of International Trade and Digital Marketing with the appointment of a representative in Ghana.

The institution believes this should provide relief to many people working in customs, exports and imports sector, trade finance as well as banking, who have difficulty finding appropriate certified courses to build their knowledge in this area.

The Country Manager of eBSI Export Academy in Ghana, Francis Yaw Tontoh, said the courses are targeted largely at workers seeking to enhance their knowledge and become experts in these areas.

He said the online course provides flexibility for workers who need this knowledge, adding that a 50 percent discount was being allowed to mark the new relationship between eBSI Export Academy and Ghana.

eBSI is a leading Online Trade Training Academy based in Ireland with thousands of graduates in over 70 countries around the world.

eBSI Export Academy specialises in the delivery of Certified International Trade and Trade Finance programmes leading to certification from the Institute of Export UK.

Programmes offered include Trade & Finance, Shipping and Supply Chain and some of the courses are Export Market Operations, Trade and Customs Practice and eBusiness for International Trade.

Others are IOSCM Freight Transport, IOSCM Manufacturing courses and IOSCM Shipping courses.

Mr Tontoh said there is the need to boost the practical and technical knowledge delivery programmes in international trade, its related courses as well as digital marketing in Ghana.

He, therefore, explained that the eBSI courses were going to be very relevant to Ghana.

He said the courses were also suitable for students who are looking for a career in International Trade Financing with financial institutions, shipping companies or with export and import companies.

He said with the emergence of the oil and gas industry as well as the expansion of the country’s sea ports, the country will require expertise in these areas.

Mr Tontoh said having a representative here in Ghana means that Ghanaians who enroll could also have an immediate correspondent as far as their training is concerned and invited interested people to take advantage of the opportunity that eBSI Export Academy offers.
