Thank you for your interest in the 2017 edition of our online course on Non-tariff Measures and Data Collection, to be held July 10 to August 27. 

The objective of the course is to provide participants with the knowledge and tools needed to identify, classify and collect information about national NTMs, as part of the international effort to improve access and increase transparency with regard to these measures.

Candidates must hold a Master’s Degree in Economics, Law, Public Policy, or International Relations. Applications may also be accepted from students enrolled in such programmes who hold a Bachelor's degree in one of these fields. Also required are: basic knowledge of Microsoft Excel, very good knowledge of English, and familiarity with government/ministry structures responsible for setting regulations.

Participants with passing grades in all course activities will receive an "UNCTAD Certified Non-Tariff Measure Data Collector" certificate. Top graduates of the online course will become part of the UNCTAD NTM consultancy roster, and may be considered for future  data collection or related work.
