Overview
In today’s ever-evolving global trade landscape, it is important that organisations stay up to date with the latest developments. As the educational arm of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), we strive to build the capabilities of practitioners by equipping them with the knowledge and know-how needed to successfully break into international markets.
To cater to the ‘new normal’, and at the same time ensuring we continue to offer learning solutions to suit the current requirements, the ICC Academy is rolling out a new learning format. Known as ‘blended learning’, this knowledge approach offers online learning opportunities along with face-to- face trainings/live classrooms, that serves as a catalyst for real professional transformation.
Customised training allows participants to have a tailored and in-depth learning experience. With online learning, your employees can overcome time constraints and study at a pace that is convenient to them. Supplementing it with face to face training or live webinar provides them the opportunity for group discussion, peer feedback and Q&A sessions with the instructor.
