Preparation for the CLTD Certification
Course Info
Course Summary
This comprehensive course prepares participants for the “Certified in Logistics, Transportation, and Distribution (CLTD)” certification. It provides an in-depth understanding of logistics, transportation, and distribution concepts, ensuring participants are equipped with the knowledge required to excel in the certification exam. The course focuses on strategic and tactical expertise in areas such as global logistics, inventory management, warehouse operations, and sustainability. While the course thoroughly prepares participants for the CLTD exam, the exam itself must be taken independently through the certifying body.

- Transportation Managers responsible for carrier selection, rate negotiation, and shipment planning.
- Global Logistics Specialists managing international transportation and trade compliance.
- Warehouse Managers focusing on inventory optimization and warehouse technology implementation.
- Inventory Planners looking to balance demand with cost-effective inventory levels.
The course employs a blend of interactive and structured learning methods to provide participants with both practical and theoretical insights. Lectures are designed to cover fundamental concepts and principles in logistics, transportation, and distribution, offering a solid knowledge base. Real-world applications of supply chain strategies are explored through case studies, providing participants with a clear understanding of how these concepts are applied in practice. Workshops focus on hands-on exercises, enhancing comprehension of logistics network design and sustainability. Group discussions encourage collaborative problem-solving and scenario analysis, fostering engagement and critical thinking. To ensure continuous progress and reinforce learning outcomes, periodic assessments, including quizzes and reviews, are integrated throughout the course.
