Education
CILTI recognises the important role of education as the key to increased professionalism within the logistics, transport and supply chain industries. Its suite of education and training courses include the following:
Certi cate in Logistics (CD-ROM Distance
Learning Programme)
This is a distance-learning course delivered by means of an interactive CD-ROM and supplementary manual.
Diploma in Logistics & Supply Chain Management
The new programme will feature a number of industry lecturers, guest presentations, leading best practice and knowledge, along with module related events which will provide students with an enhanced learning experience. This course is aimed at those working in the logistics and supply chain management fields and is based in Dublin and Cork.
Over two semesters (per year), students will study all facets of logistics and supply chain management from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Students will benefit from gaining valuable insights from CILT professional events to learn from world class supply chain organisations and professionals during the programme.
Bachelor of Business in Supply Chain Management
As of September 2016, CILT Ireland has launched a Degree Programme in partnership with Carlow IT. Now, students who have completed the two year CILT Diploma programme will get the option to move on and complete a third year which will award them with a QQI accredited Level 7 Degree. This programme is designed to develop graduates who are equipped with in-depth knowledge, skills and competencies in Supply Management, and Management and Business
to enable them to make a contribution to the business community, in the region, nationally and internationally. This year’s programme is being run on a part-time basis in Griffith College, Dublin.
Continuous Professional Development Programmes
As part of the CILT Skillnet, we aim to support companies
in facilitating continuous learning and improvement in knowledge, skills and competencies to the optimum of their employees through our scheduled CPD Programmes. Members of the CILT Skillnet network may use the Skillnets network to avail of grant-assisted training and networking opportunities for their Directors, Managers and all staff. These programmes facilitate a range of different sectors and are run at various times throughout the year.
