IconCCLP Designation Requirements

Certifying well-rounded logistics professionals

To earn the CCLP designation you need to demonstrate:

  • Supply chain logistics expertise
  • Business management abilities
  • Real-world experience

There are two main paths to becoming a CITT-Certified Logistics Professional: through the program of courses or the challenge exam. Both require a minimum of three years' industry experience.

The program of courses teaches learners all the competencies certified by the designation. Once you've successfully completed the required courses, you'll be eligible for certification.

The challenge exam tests all the competencies certified by the designation. If you pass the challenge exam, you'll be eligible for the CCLP designation.

IconDevelop & Demonstrate Logistics Competencies

The CCLP Program of Courses

Take courses to develop the competencies certified by the CCLP designation.

The first requirement is to complete 5 logistics courses. These courses are mandatory, and only CITT's own courses or those officially accredited by CITT can be counted as credit for this requirement. 

The second requirement is to develop business management competencies, by earning 5 general business course credits. If you already have a business degree or diploma, you can apply for recognition of your prior learning and earn up to all five of these credits without taking any additional courses through CITT.

The third requirement is 3 years of industry experience. If you don't already have the full 3 years, you can continue to log that experience during and after your courses.

IconWritten Exam & Practical Interview

CCLP Challenge Exam

For professionals with broad, deep logistics expertise, CITT offers a challenge exam to earn the CCLP designation

Candidates who are confident they have already mastered the business of logistics can pursue the challenge exam path to certification.  Demonstrate your supply chain logistics and business management competency through a simple but rigorous two-step process consisting of a multiple choice exam and a practical interview.

Both assessments can be completed remotely from your home or place of work (online and by Zoom call, respectively), and the entire process can be completed in a matter of weeks.

Maintaining your CCLP Designation


Unlike academic degrees, professional designations must be regularly maintained. This helps ensure that CITT-Certified Logistics Professionals remain experts in the constantly evolving logistics business, and is a big part of the reason employers value credentials like the CCLP professional designation. To maintain your CCLP designation, you're required to:


1. Agree to uphold the CITT Code of Professional Ethics

Once every year, as a condition of their designation renewal, CITT-Certified Logistics Professionals renew their promise to uphold CITT's Code of Professional Ethics and recommit themselves to operating in ways that reflect the values of transparency and integrity. CITT recognises that supply chain and logistics professionals serve the public interest first and consider their responsibility to the betterment of society as paramount.


2. Provide proof of ongoing professional development

CITT-Certified Logistics Professionals demonstrate their commitment to continuous learning. Certified members are required to accumulate and report 50 certification maintenance units (CMUs) every two years. CITT is pleased to provide many free or low-cost professional development opportunities. For example, CITT offers monthly webinars, and viewing each (live or recorded) is worth 5 CMUs. Taking a semester-length course is worth 40 CMUs, and attending Canada's Logistics Conference is worth 10 CMUs per day. 


3. Remain a CITT Member in good standing

In order to maintain the CCLP designation and the right to use the CCLP credential, CITT-Certified Logistics Professionals also need to remain CITT members in good standing. The CITT Constitution, By-Laws and Board Policies require certified members pay an annual professional fee (member dues) as set by the board of directors. Currently this fee is $425 (plus tax).
