International Entry Award in Logistics and Transport

The CILT International Entry Level Award in Logistics and Transport has been designed to offer an entry-level overview and a basic insight into the logistics and transport industry.

It is ideally suited for younger students or anyone looking for a general overview of the logistics and transport industry. This is an entry-level qualification and is open access for all students. It can also be used as a  ‘full’ course or as individual modules to support apprenticeship / internship opportunities, allowing the student to mix and match their taught elements with on-the-job experience.

Three mandatory units make up the course, which can be delivered as an intensive short course, or a slightly longer part-time offer. It is assessed by two short-answer examinations and the assessment of a student workbook. Upon completion, students can progress onto other CILT International qualifications.

International Introductory Certificate in Logistics and Transport

The CILT International Introductory Certificate in Logistics and Transport offers a broad understanding of the principles, applications and concepts of the logistics and transport industry. It gives students the opportunity to focus on an area of specialism to gain introductory knowledge of their professional sector. Whilst it would be beneficial for the candidate to have some working knowledge of the industry, this is not essential.

The course consists of four modules; two mandatory and two optional (allowing for students to specialise in their chosen area). All modules are assessed by written examination, consisting of short-answer questions.

Some educational partners may offer each unit as its own distinct short award with assessment and certification, allowing students to complete further units and the full qualification at a time to suit them.

The full Introductory Certificate may be delivered as an intensive short course, or a slightly longer part-time offer.

International Certificate in Logistics and Transport

The CILT International Certificate in Logistics and Transport is a free-standing, Level 3 qualification, designed to provide a sound foundation for a career within the transport and supply chain fields and should provide potential supervisors and first-line managers with a complete set of management skills. It is recommended that those undertaking this programme have some prior knowledge of logistics and transport operations; ideally through their own work experience, or through previous CILT International study.

The course consists of two mandatory and one optional module. These are assessed through written examination. Most students complete their studies within a year.

The modules offered as part of this qualification can also be offered as stand-alone units, giving both students and employers maximum flexibility.

Learners who successfully complete the qualification may progress to:

1. The CILT International Certificate in Logistics and Transport;
2. An apprenticeship or other vocational programme;
3. Further specialist logistics or transport training;
4. Entry-level employment in logistics, warehousing, transport, purchasing, customer
   service or supply-chain operations;
5. Increased responsibilities within an existing operational role.

International Diploma in Logistics and Transport

This course is designed to support professionals involved in planning logistics operations and those operating in supervisory or operational management roles. It is also ideal for graduates with non-business degrees moving into the logistics field.

As a Level 5 programme, this would be taught at the same level as Year 2 of a Bachelor’s degree, but is focussed on vocational rather than purely academic learning.

Candidates study four units (one mandatory and three electives/options) and are assessed via a written examination. Whilst the course can be delivered in a part-time manner over up to 18 months, most complete within a year. The course will be a blend of both taught material and independent study.

Learners who successfully complete the qualification may progress to:

• the CILT International Advanced Diploma in Logistics and Transport;
• further specialist logistics, transport or supply-chain study;
• increased supervisory, first-line management or middle-management responsibility.

Successful completion of the CILT International Diploma, together with a minimum of two years of appropriate experience, meets the stated eligibility criteria for a membership upgrade from Student Member to Member (MILT), subject to the current membership requirements and
approval process.
