Certification Standards

The Certification Board of Governors (CBG) exists to give voice to industry experts in support of the certification program offered by the International Import-Export Institute (IIEI), the globally recognized and accepted international trade certification program.

Since the IIEI was founded, the knowledge requirements have evolved significantly. However, the basic scientific process for setting and maintaining the standards remains the same. It involves having volunteer panels of experts from industry, academia and governments provide guidance on the knowledge content and the proficiency standards. Careful attention is focused on the validity and reliability of each of the testing instruments developed. This ensures that the examinations accurately measure the knowledge and proficiency requirements recommended by the CBG's Ethics & Professional Standards Committee.

A person holding any IIEI international trade certification will have satisfactorily passed an appropriate examination to demonstrate mastery of knowledge requirements and code of ethics..
