The North American Small Business International Trade Educators Association (NASBITE) Certified Global Business Professional (CGBP) Credential provides a benchmark for competency in global commerce. The CGBP designation demonstrates your ability to conduct global business. If you’re experienced in international trade, the certification provides recognition of your knowledge. If you’re just beginning a career in international business, the certification establishes your commitment to professional development.

The Certified Global Professional Online Program was created by academics, industry practitioners, and professionals who assisted in the development of the credential, and it’s facilitated by instructors with extensive backgrounds related to the material. The Certified Global Business Professional Program prepares you for the credential exam by educating you in four areas: global management, global marketing, supply chain management, and trade finance.
