The GTC is valid for three years before it must be re-certified. The objective of re-certification is to ensure that GTC holders continue to maintain the high standards of trade finance skills and understanding that have been accredited to them.
We have recently updated our re-certification requirements to make them more flexible and less costly. You can see full details here.
Your purchase of the GTC allows one attempt at the exam. If required, a retake can be purchased for USD $100 if you are still within your 12-month access period. Please contact our Help Desk at helpdesk@iccacademy.com.sg
All candidates need to be able to read and write in English.
FULL GTC ENROLMENT: Your purchase includes 12 months to access all 9 GTC courses. You can access the lessons as many times as you like within the 12-month access period. Once you have completed all 9 courses, you will get access to the final exam.
STACK GTC COURSES: If you opt to 'stack up' GTC courses as you go then you will get 12 months access to each course from the date you purchase it. This means your access to each course will end on different dates. Please note that this may mean you do not have access to all courses when revising to take the GTC exam, depending on how quickly you complete the 9 required courses.
