What is the International Retail Industry Training Council (IRITC)?

The International Retail Industry Training Council, commonly abbreviated as IRITC, is the first online retail training organization which uses a blended learning approach.  Their approach is to use a combination of online learning, distance learning, on-the-job training and simulation training (using retail training software) based on international standards.

The IRITC offers a modern and superior way of training since it is very flexible and can be customized to meet the needs of all retail industry and small business professionals. IRITC offers courses for recent high school graduates who want to pursue a career in this booming sector of the economy (the IRITC Certificate in General Retailing Course).  It also provides excellent training opportunities for those people currently employed in the retail industry who want to upgrade their skills so they can be promoted to a management position (Certificate in Retail Supervision Course).

In addition, IRITC also provides opportunities for those who want to upgrade their skills so they are more than capable of taking on the duties and responsibilities of a top management position in retail business (the Certificate in Retail Management Course).

The choice is truly yours because IRITC offers these courses in three flexible modes of study so you can choose the method that best fits your needs.  You can choose to study online or through distance learning.  Courses are either offered through a partner institution or through the employer’s organisation.  Fees for courses are very affordable to anyone. The IRITC offers the most exciting and flexible way to learn.

Best of all, the IRITC training programs can be easily customized around the needs of the employer as well as the needs of the employee. The interests and needs of everyone in the retail industry are taken into account.  The training programmes encourage work experience in order to help trainees apply the knowledge acquired during training to real life situations in the workplace. The IRITC also offers a convenient option of recognising prior learning.  Credits can be given for completing and passing short course training programmes.
