GLOBAL PATHWAYS: Our Partnership with the Global Trade Professionals Alliance (GTPA) as their global Approved Certification Body offering global professional certification

The ISO/IEC 17024 Certification of Global Trade Professionals (GTP) is the only international standard for global trade professionals across national boundaries. Global Pathways is the program that supports trade professionals throughout their career path from gaining strong foundations to earning the ISO/IEC 17024 certification. Trade professionals can expand their knowledge in 15 areas of trade.

LCB CONTINUING EDUCATION: Our Partnership with CBP as a Selected Accreditor Partner as an accreditor and partner in developing criteria for the Continuing Education regulation. Join our LCB mailing list to receive updates on the program and courses available to you.

More about the ISO/IEC 17024 standard

Global trade is more dynamic than ever before. Global Trade Professionals need a way to stay ahead of changes that impact trade compliance for their company or their clients. The GTP measures and certifies a person's trade competence based on their current knowledge, skills and experience. This provides a baseline for growing your knowledge in new areas of trade responsibilities.

Continue your growth through Continuing Professional Education (CPD) in EMTC approved activities or events offered by us or other third parties including some of the LCB Continuing Education activities. GTP allows a variety of experiential learning activities that go beyond classroom learning. Contact us at education@emtc.org.
