Earn the CCLP Designation Faster
If you have taken a program or course related to supply chain, logistics or other business disciplines, you may qualify for advanced standing in the program of study towards the CCLP® (CITT-Certified Logistics Professional) designation.
Recognized Programs with Academic Partner Schools
First, check to see if your school and program has already been accredited by CITT - Those who have completed recognized programs with CITT's academic partners have special fast tracks towards the CCLP designation. Learn more about which schools and programs qualify here, and contact Maria Murjani at mmurjani@citt.ca if you have any questions about your personal next steps to become a CCLP.
If you don't see your school listed as an official academic partner, don't worry!
Anyone with a degree or diploma in
business can apply for advanced standing towards the CCLP designation, which can reduce the number of courses required to earn the CCLP designation by up to 50%. Even if you have only taken some
business courses, you may qualify for individual credits towards the business
management education requirement, helping you earn your designation faster. Depending on your education and professional experience, you might also opt to take the CCLP challenge exam instead of completing additional courses. Learn more about the challenge exam option here.
