An international certificate is a document issued by the university that proves your participation in a course abroad. This certificate is a valuable addition to your resume and can be recognized in your home country by universities or employers. Upon completing one of the thematic international courses offered by IBS Americas, you receive a Certificate of Executive Management issued by the university where the course was taken, validating your academic and international experience. 

It varies according to each home University or College. Some may accept the transcript of credits based on the course content, syllabus and class hours. However, the specific arrangement needs to be made directly with your home University. IBS Americas is happy to work with your Institution to provide any documentation required for a credit transfer process. Consult your secretary.
