Complete Logistics Management Courses In One Year

Did you know that Centennial College’s Logistic Management courses have a partnership with the Canadian Institute of Traffic and Transportation (CITT), a leading professional development association in the supply chain and logistics sector and Canada’s most respected and widely held professional designation in the industry? As such, graduates of this offering who successfully fulfill the CITT certification enhance their overall career success, as CITT certification signals a higher level of understanding and ability to employers. Centennial’s Logistics Management courses prepare graduates with the academic credentials necessary to pursue the CITT designation. To become fully accredited with the CITT designation, applicants must also: attain five years of industry experience, provide proof of continuous professional development, accept the CITT Code of Ethics and pay CITT membership dues. This alone is a great reason to attend this offering, but there are many others.

Taking just two semesters to complete and resulting in an Ontario College Graduate Certificate, these Logistics Management courses are geared towards students who have already completed a college diploma or university degree in any discipline. In addition to these credentials, the application process also requires a proof of English proficiency. However, the Logistics Management program will also consider applicants with partial post-secondary and relevant work experience. For this, a transcript and resume review is required.

The overall goal of the offering is to ensure that students obtain a solid logistics foundation that can transfer across all industries as employers are seeking talent with the proper mix of supply chain management and logistics knowledge, to allow for competition on a national and global scale. Among the specific Logistics Management courses offered in this program are: Transportation Law, Transportation Systems & Logistics Processes, Accounting for Managerial Decision Making, Crafting and Executing Strategy, Ethics and Stakeholder Management, Management and Leadership, Transportation Economics and Integrated Logistics.

Upon completion of the Logistic Management courses, students enter a field that refers to the governance of supply chain functions. Among the tasks completed in this area of business are: inbound and outbound transportation management, fleet management, warehousing, materials handling, order fulfillment, logistics network design, inventory management, supply/demand planning, and management of third party logistics services providers. In addition, logistics function may include customer service, sourcing and procurement, production planning and scheduling, packaging and assembly. 

Those who successfully complete the Logistics Management courses go on to work in areas such as manufacturing and production companies, retailers and distributors, transport companies, government agencies and consulting firms. The titles of professionals who work in these industries include: production coordinator, consultant, supply chain analyst, international logistics manager, supply chain software manager, warehouse operations manager, customer service manager, fulfillment supervisor, transportation coordinator, purchasing manager and inventory specialist.
