Logistics courses

Use the navigator on this page: based on your answers about industry work and education, it shows a recommended programme. How the choice works is described in detail in the learning guide (RU). If you are unsure, send a request marked “Help me choose” and an adviser will select a programme for you.

There is no compulsory work experience requirement to apply. If you already work in logistics, the International Diploma suits any degree, and those who lead a function or department are suited to the International Advanced Diploma (admission is by interview with a CILT expert; you can start with the International Diploma). With a degree in another field you can also apply for the International Diploma; if you have not yet worked in the industry, we recommend starting with the International Certificate or the Logistics Fundamentals online intensive. We agree the final programme with you at a consultation.

Online intensives and short courses take 8 to 72 hours. The Entry-level certificate: up to 2 months; the Introductory certificate: up to 4; the International Certificate: 4 to 10; the International Diploma: 4 to 12; the International Advanced Diploma: up to 18 months.

The CILT International Certificate starts from 1 000 000 ₸, the International Diploma from 1 500 000 ₸ and the International Advanced Diploma from 1 900 000 ₸ for the full programme. The final diploma fee depends on the language and study format; the admissions adviser will confirm it. Individuals may pay in full or module by module: the Russian-language International Diploma costs 375 000 ₸ for each of its four modules, with no surcharge (how modular study works (RU)). Online intensives in Transport Law, Customs and Foreign Trade, Supply Chain Management and International Transport cost 150 000 ₸ per course. Fees for the other short courses and introductory programmes are available on request through the form below or WhatsApp.

CILT Central Asia offers evening distance learning. Assessment at introductory levels uses written tests and questions; advanced levels use professional projects and analytical business cases.

Yes. CILT online intensives and distance learning programmes are available from Almaty, Astana and any city in Kazakhstan: classes and materials are online. See the programme pages for language and timetable: online intensives, International Diploma.

An online intensive covers one work-related topic, such as international transport or customs; you can take it at any moment — before a programme, during it or after it. The International Diploma is an international qualification of four management modules and the route to MILT status. If your degree is in another field and you do not yet work in logistics, we recommend starting with the online intensive “Logistics Fundamentals” or the International Certificate — a recommendation, not a requirement.

CILT Central Asia teaches in Russian and English. Original course materials come from CILT International in English, while teaching and examinations are adapted and translated for regional learners.

Yes. CILT qualifications are professional qualifications: CILT International develops them, and they are recognised in 40+ countries and by the largest multinational logistics companies. How they relate to university degrees and qualification frameworks is explained in the learning guide (RU).

The International Certificate counts as the educational criterion for MILT membership. The International Diploma leads to professional MILT status. The International Advanced Diploma is the educational part of the route to Chartered CMILT status; admission is by interview with a CILT expert. Other conditions are explained on the “Membership” page.

CILT allows module reassessment within the specified academic period. The CILT International examination board provides detailed guidance on topics that need further study.
