What People are Saying
Best Decision I made!
One of the best career decisions I made was in 2009 when I sought the right foundation for my upcoming career. The day I decided to pursue CDCS Training at IFTS marked a pivotal moment. The comprehensive programs and personalized guidance provided by Balaji Sir not only equipped me with valuable skills but also helped me clear CDCS within a short span, despite having zero experience in the trade finance domain. This accomplishment further streamlined my career path. I am truly grateful for the support and knowledge I gained at IFTS Institute, which played a key role in positively shaping my professional journey in international trade finance.

IFTS Played a pivotal role in my journey!
The IFTS CDCS Training program provided me with a comprehensive understanding of trade operations, equipping me with the skills and knowledge to excel in the field. The program’s emphasis on practical applications and real-world scenarios was instrumental in my success on the CDCS (Certified Documentary Credit Specialist) exam and in securing lucrative job opportunities at multinational corporations like ANZ, JP Morgan, and BANK OF AMERICA. The mentorship of Mr. K A S Balaji garu, the visionary founder of IFTS, played a pivotal role in my journey, providing guidance and support that extended beyond the classroom.

Life before and after “IFTS“
I would like to express my gratitude by providing facts. I feel immensely proud of being a part of our IFTS community that has empowered me to achieve success in my career. I can proudly say there is a distinct “Life before IFTS” and “Life after IFTS.” Coming from a science background with no knowledge of trade, I dedicated two months of my life to IFTS, and in return, Sir gave me the life that I have now. I began my trade career as a processor with ANZ Bank and have now progressed to the position of Senior Manager of Trade Operations. Lastly, I would like to appreciate Sir for the multiple roles he has played in society and for giving life to over 400 candidates like me.

SOLID Foundation
Joining IFTS professional mentorship program (CDCS) was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made after college. The guidance, wisdom, and encouragement I received from my mentor was invaluable. They not only helped me discover and enhance crucial skills but also provided me with a strong professional network that has been instrumental in my career growth. The CDCS training at IFTS equipped me with practical knowledge and real-world insights that gave me a solid foundation as I entered the workforce. I am currently working in the United States of America for HSBC. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn from such an experienced professional who continue to inspire and support me.

Under Mr. Balaji’s expert guidance at IFTS, I completed my CDCS Certification and Trade Finance training. His practical approach, rooted in extensive industry experience, prepared me thoroughly for the complexities of Trade Finance, including Letter of Credit, Guarantees, and Standby LCs. With over 12 years of experience, I later moved into a role as a Business Analyst/Product Owner in a banking-oriented technology platform. Thanks to IFTS’s support, I successfully transitioned into the Trade Finance domain and advanced in my career. For quality CDCS training and career readiness, IFTS Center is unmatched. It’s a decision that has truly shaped my professional journey.
