About Us

The world's first and only international trade school — bringing the field into the classroom.

The International Trade School of London (ITSL) is an institutional school established for those who want to learn international trade as a profession.

Our Story

A school at the heart of trade.

The International Trade School of London (ITSL) is established for those who want to learn international trade as a profession. ITSL trains professionals through a model that combines the theoretical foundation of international trade with desk and field practice.

While doing so, it integrates industry-experienced names into its faculty. Built on an inductive method, it offers a learning model that is easy to grasp in practice while being brought to life by real cases.

Because trade is learned in the field rather than the classroom, we bring the field into the classroom.

"Learn International Trade at Its Heart — London!"
