About IIEI Certification's Advocacy Role

The cornerstone of the IIEI Certification program is that volunteers from throughout the world  participate in the process with their time and expertise in helping ensure that the baseline knowledge requirements reflect "best practices" for any certification and meet the current needs of industry. (See Committees for current volunteers)

IIEI Certification's staff serve an advocacy role, reflecting these volunteer's expert opinions into the global standards for all international trade certifications.  As a result, IIEI Certification is accepted globally as the standard setting authority for international trade certification. In this role, it works closely with other NGOs and governments around the world to make trade safe and bring standardization to trade practices and policies.

IIEI Certification's work product (i.e. established knowledge requirements) serves as the basis for the International Import-Export Institute's exam preparation training courses. Its courses were developed to help educate individuals everywhere to IIEI Certification's global standards. More than 1500 colleges, universities and training centers worldwide are Approved Providers, offering these training courses to their students.

IIEI Certification is a division of  International Import-Export Institute, which is part of nationally accredited Dunlap-Stone University (DSU).

DSU provides all administrative and financial support to this effort of creating and maintaining the IIEI Certification program.
