Learning Resources, Study Guide, Training
As NASBITE does not directly prepare candidates to take the NASBITE CGBP Exam, individuals seeking training on the tasks and knowledge statements tested through the exam should attend local workshops or training seminars offered through colleges, universities, trade centers, World Trade Centers, or other training programs which have aligned their programs with the NASBITE CGBP program.
This page highlights programs that have developed training programs specifically aligned with the NASBITE CGBP credential. We will continue to update this page as more training programs are developed.
INDIVIDUAL PREPARATION
Any candidate preparing for the NASBITE exam, should review the following three documents.
The Tasks and Knowledge Statement lists the specific areas in international trade against which questions for the exam were writte.
The Study and Review Guide will help answer questions about what is and is not on the exam.
