How it can help when applying for jobs abroad
Example: applying for a Supply Chain Manager role. On your CV, you list International Diploma in Logistics and Transport, CILT, Level 5 and describe your skills in supply chain management, procurement and international business. At interview, support these with examples from your own work.
This is an example career scenario, not a story of guaranteed employment. Employers also assess experience, language skills, the right to work and the requirements of the role.
Outcomes and recognition

Your questions
Answers before you apply
Worth reading before you choose: how the CILT certificate differs from the diploma (RU), why the programme is split into modules (RU) and how to choose logistics courses (RU).
Is the programme suitable if I already work as a manager?
Yes. The programme is designed for professionals who plan operations and for managers who need a structured management foundation. If you head a function or a department and are responsible for strategy, we recommend the International Advanced Diploma — an industry alternative to an MBA and the route to Chartered CMILT status; admission is by interview with a CILT expert. The International Diploma is the step that is followed by the International Advanced Diploma. At consultation, we will compare the programmes with your experience and goals.
Does the diploma guarantee a job at an international company?
The diploma confirms successful completion of a professional programme. Hiring decisions depend on the employer, the candidate's experience, language skills and the role's requirements. The programme helps you present your education through an international qualification and the competencies you have studied.
Does the diploma replace higher education or provide the right to work abroad?
This is a CILT professional qualification. Requirements for academic education, recognition of documents, visas and the right to work are determined separately by the country and employer.
How does the CILT diploma differ from a certificate from a local training centre?
When applying internationally, a certificate from a local or CIS training centre may require further explanation for a recruiter. CILT offers a publicly documented international qualification. The value of local programmes and acceptance of any diploma still depend on the programme itself and the employer.
How much time will studying take?
The CILT Central Asia catalogue provides an indicative duration of 4 to 12 months. CILT International specifies 360 learning hours, including independent study. We will confirm your individual calendar and workload before admission.
Can I study in Russian and receive the same diploma?
Yes, the current catalogue includes evening distance learning in Russian. The qualification is the same across the listed formats; assessment arrangements and document requirements are confirmed at enrolment.
Can I study from another city or country and combine study with work?
Yes. Distance learning requires internet access and a device for working with materials. Before admission, we will agree on your time zone and assessment arrangements.
Choose an evening group or a self-paced format and allow time for preparation, written assignments and examinations. Materials and access arrangements depend on your chosen format.
Can I pay for the programme by module?
Pay in full or by module (for individuals). Fees shown cover the full diploma programme.
Payment arrangements and dates are set out in the contract.
Can I take an online intensive first?
Yes. You can take an online intensive at any moment — before the programme, during it or after it. If your degree is in another field and you do not yet work in logistics, we recommend starting with the online intensive “Logistics Fundamentals”: it gives you the language and processes of the industry before the International Diploma. Other topics are in the online intensive catalogue. If you later decide to enrol in the diploma programme, we will discuss the study arrangements and any possible credit separately.
