The CGBP designation (Certified Global Business Professional) is recognized internationally as a professional credential for people who work in all fields related to international trade. It is earned by taking and passing an exam delivered at test centers throughout North America. Candidates from both small and large companies will benefit as will students in two or four year degree programs. The credential is also suitable for individuals working in trade assistance organizations, trade promotion agencies, and related educational institutions. To receive the NASBITE CGBP designation a candidate must pass the CGBP exam and have completed either two-years of college-level study, or have worked in global commerce for two years.
