Program Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a highly interactive, skills-based online course using simulations and exercises to develop your practical skills in preparing for and implementing an effective trade negotiation strategy.\u00a0 The course is based on CTPL\u2019s direct experience working with current and former trade negotiators from all regions of the world.\u00a0 More than 600 trade negotiation officials have participated in CTPL\u2019s training programs.<\/p>\n

The CTPL approach to skills development<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLearning-by-doing\u201d is the most effective way for trade officials to develop their skills as negotiators.\u00a0 This process can take 10 to 15 years as officials move up the experience curve from note-taker at negotiation meetings, to technical expert, to subject matter lead, to Deputy and then Chief Negotiator of a major trade negotiation.\u00a0 CTPL courses help reduce the time it takes to gain this experience through practical application exercises and simulations that are delivered in a \u201csafe\u201d environment.\u00a0 By the end of each CTPL course, participants have gained real experience that improves their ability to prepare and implement an effective negotiation strategy.<\/p>\n
