“The ICC EIC course was really fruitful. I have recommended to many of my peers at work as it helped me understand my job better and also gave me a greater view on Import and Export as a whole.”

“I got extra bonus for my work, which is quite uncommon among the graduate trainees. The EIC course gave me an option to move to another field, and it is in keeping with the times, which many courses on campus can’t do. It’s very practical.”
