SME Trade Academy

    ITC’s e-learning platform offers 100+ free online courses in different languages, available to all.

    The SME Trade Academy provides a public learning platform with more than 100 free online courses on export development, sustainability, trade support, entrepreneurship, e-commerce, and market analysis.

    Our courses are aimed at micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), mostly in developing and least-developed countries.

    But others find our courses useful too: government agencies, policymakers, members of international organizations, trade and investment support institutions, and academia.

    Who we are

    The SME Trade Academy is part of ITC. Our mission is to digitalize all of ITC’s group trainings, both online and in-person. We don’t just put courses on a computer. We enhance them by applying digital learning technologies.

    We work in partnership with ITC project managers, business support organizations, academic institutions and development agencies to build and deliver learning solutions to ITC’s beneficiaries in developing environments.
