The e-Learning Programme was a great and unique experience that increased my knowledge in trade finance.
The benefits of having the e-Learning Programme in my life last year are hard to underestimate: strong theoretical support and professional development, and an amazing graduation ceremony with great networking opportunities. Thank you EBRD!
After many years of experience in the documentary business, it was amazing to learn new aspects of trade finance thanks to the TFP e-Learning Programme.
The EBRD Trade Finance e-Learning Programme is the best online training I have ever seen for people working in trade finance and documentary operations.
Our winners
We had an amazing time, from the workshop through to the graduation ceremony, which ended with a great party! I expect to gain a lot out of my prize – attendance to the DB International Bankers Seminar in Frankfurt – for which I deeply thank you!
The e-Learning Programme is interesting and really helped me to develop professionally. Moreover, the graduation ceremony was a great opportunity to meet colleagues in other countries.
Being a part of the EBRD Trade Finance e-Learning Programme is a great opportunity for any trade finance specialist that in return reflects in your overall knowledge and performance.
The e-Learning Programme was wonderfully beneficial for professional self-development. And the graduation ceremony in Minsk was a great opportunity to meet colleagues from other banks.
