We packed all the important essentials in powerful short courses: Each course takes between 1 hour and 2 hours to complete. All of our courses are 100% online, self-paced and text-based (including lots of pictures, graphs and diagrams). You can find the duration per course on the course list here.

Our courses are designed for both students and non-students. Therefore, you need neither previous knowledge of management concepts nor any proof of academic record. All you need is a web browser and some motivation!

Cost & Payment

Our online courses cost between $10 and $50. These costs include the course content as well as your personal certificate. There are no additional costs. You can find all prices here.

We do accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.), major debit cards, or PayPal for your payment. Unfortunately, we do not accept manual bank transfers. If you use the credit card of a third party (e.g. family member or close friend), please make sure that this person approves your payment.

All of our courses have to be paid upfront. You can start studying right after the successful payment.

There are various reasons why a payment may fail. Here are some error sources and solutions:

  • Check your entered credit card details for mistakes
  • Make sure there is enough money on your account

Course & Program Certificates

To gain your personal certificate, you have to complete an online course and a quiz. All of our course quizzes are multiple-choice tests. Don’t worry – you can retake the test several times free of charge. Also, there is no time limit. You will receive your certificate as a digital file (pdf). We do not send hard copies.

The International Business Management Institute (IBMI) holds its distance learning programs to the same high standards that are held by traditional educational institutions. Our certificates are therefore highly recognized and accepted by many employers around the world. Please note that we do not award academic titles or degrees. However, most organizations do recognize IBMI certificates as valid professional certificates.

To find and download all your certificates, simply log-in, select “My Account” and click on “My Certificates“.

As a German and European institution, we are guided by the German legal system and the further education framework of the European Union (EU). The Digital Education Action Plan of the European Commission (EC) strengthens digital certificates and IBMI supports the idea to replace paper-based documents with more modern alternatives. Therefore, you will receive all your certificates as digital files (pdf) to store and share your qualifications more easily. We do not send hard copies. If you need a hard copy of your certificate, we recommend you to print it with a high-quality electrophotographic printer. Both products – the digital certificate and your personal printout – are valid versions.

Employers or educational institutions are always free to verify our certificates by the QR code on each certificate. Furthermore, they can simply contact us if they need to verify specific certificates.

If you complete 4 to 6 courses in a specific field, you will receive a program certificate without any additional fees. You can find these programs on our course list here.
