About the Challenge Exam

The CCLP Challenge Exam is an alternative to the CCLP program of study for professionals with broad, deep logistics expertise. The Challenge Exam was designed specifically for people who have, in their career and education, already developed the competencies certified by the CCLP designation.

The exam itself consists of a two-step process: the written exam itself, and a practical interview. Together, these create a highly accurate assessment of your logistics and business competencies. 

Both the written and interview component can be completed remotely. You'll work with CITT to find dates and times convenient for you to complete both components.

Is the Challenge Exam my right path to certification?

The CCLP Challenge Exam was designed for individuals with diverse experience in supply chain logistics management. It's most appropriate for mid- to senior-level pros with Canadian experience whose careers have touched on a variety of functional areas managing complex supply chain logistics operations. The minimum of 3 years working in relevant SCL roles is the professional experience requirement for all CCLP designation candidates.

Below, you'll see the competencies assessed by the exam. You can also refer to the page about preparing for the Challenge Exam for more ways of assessing your readiness - including a Study Guide and Practice Test. 


Preparing


To help candidates assess their readiness for the Challenge Exam, a Practice Test as well as Study Guide and related textbooks for independent study are available. If you aren't sure you're ready for the full Challenge Exam, it's a good idea to explore these options.

Final Steps to Becoming a CCLP Designation Holder


Eligible CCLP designation candidates who pass both the Challenge Exam and Practical Interview can apply to become CITT-Certified Logistics Professionals and full, voting members of CITT. You'll receive an application form from CITT staff once your assessors confirm you've successfully completed the Practical Interview.

From this point, the process is the same for all CCLP designation candidates regardless of which pathway they've taken to meet the competency requirements:

  • Confirm your (minimum) 3 years of practical experience
  • Agree to uphold a Professional Code of Ethics & CITT's by-laws
  • Commit to continuing education and CITT's Certification Maintenance Program
  • Pay the annual professional fee (currently $425 per year, typically pro-rated in the first year)

Once this application process is complete, you can opt to receive your CCLP designation certificate and regalia by mail or at one of CITT's annual certification events, and immediately begin to use the CCLP credential on your LinkedIn profile, resume, email signature, business cards and other business communications.
