Senior Manager, UK-based commodities trading company

We have been expanding very fast, and we now have a network of more than fifty offices
in thirty countries. It can be very difficult to get everybody up to speed on a number of important international trade topics - especially in some of the smaller offices.

The Trade Tutor portfolio will be helpful because it contains both short 'entry-level' syllabuses
and more comprehensive ones. In particular, it is practicable to give the short Trade Essentials course
to large numbers of staff, to establish a basic level of knowledge and skills throughout the organisation.

Logistics Manager, global supplier of I.T and telecoms equipment

We needed to improve our documentation and letter of credit skills within one of our regional
departments. The Mantissa TeamBuilder package has suited our purposes very well -
the comprehensive LC Expert for the specialists and the Trade Essentials course for
the other team members.

The syllabus is very comprehensive. Ms D. found the course both enjoyable and useful - we would
certainly use it again for new hires.

We have a number of staff who have been processing LC documents for some time, but who have significant gaps in their knowledge. They have found Trade Tutor: Banking invaluable in improving
their skills and their confidence.

Some of these students are spending much longer on the units than your suggested study times,
but then English is not their first language. The important thing is that they are getting reasonable
scores on the assessments. I am sure that in a conventional classroom setting, they would find
themselves struggling to keep up.

We needed to bring about thirty staff, based in a number of different offices, up to speed on
the basics of Incoterms. They are all very busy, and it is simply not practical to get them to
a classroom - so an online solution seemed ideal. We needed a short, engaging lesson and
a way for me to check that people had been through the material.

Everybody has been impressed with the training, and I can see at a glance who has passed
the test.
