Study Smarter | Learn Faster | Succeed Confidently
Why Choose Our CDCS E-Learning Course
Our program is built on four foundational pillars that define the strength and structure of our CDCS preparation model:
- Comprehensive Coverage: The course content comprehensively covers all topics relevant for the CDCS examination, ensuring a deep understanding from foundational principles to advanced practices.
- Structured Learning Path: The entire curriculum is organised into a logical sequence, enabling you to progress from beginner to expert. Each topic builds upon the previous, reinforced through guided video lessons, downloadable notes, and checkpoint quizzes.
- Exam-Focused Question Practice: We incorporate question styles that mirror the CDCS exam format — including multiple-choice questions and document-checking simulations. These are integrated into the learning flow to ensure you’re not just studying concepts but actively applying them as per LIBF standards.
- Continuous Study Model: Unlike traditional weekend-based courses that demand long, intensive study blocks — often disrupting focus and work-life balance — our approach encourages steady, ongoing learning. This helps maintain engagement, supports better retention, and allows you to stay consistently aligned with your study schedule without burnout.
These four pillars — Comprehensive Coverage, Structured Learning, Exam-Focused Practice, and Continuity of Study — ensure success in the CDCS exam and support ongoing professional growth.*

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.

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.
