Make sure all aspects of your logistics operations are operating effectively

Earn your CLTD

The Certified in Logistics and Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) certification prepares you to manage logistics operations, from inbound materials management to reverse logistics. By earning the CLTD designation, you’ll advance your ability to lead in this sector through best practices and the most up-to-date strategies and trends.

APICS CLTDs work across a broad range of industries, include: manufacturing, consulting, education, government, services, healthcare, and more.

An APICS Certification in logistics, according to me, is more than a degree. Degree efforts pass like a heat wave, but a certification from APICS remains recognized.
