and quality assurance is maintained

Fritz Institute in partnership
with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport
UK (CILT-UK) is now offering two qualifications
for those working in humanitarian logistics –
the Certification in Humanitarian Logistics (CHL) and the
Certification in Humanitarian Supply Chain Management (CHSCM).
Selecting the right course of study: This
document provides guidance for those candidates who wish
to enrol on one of the two humanitarian qualifications offered.
The qualifications have been designed for two different
target audiences, and you do not have to complete CHL before
enrolling on the CHSCM course. However it is very important
that you select the right level of qualification for you.
The descriptions of the two qualifications given below should
help you to decide. In addition, before enrolling in the
CHSCM course, please fill out the questionnaire at the end
of this guide and submit to Logistics Learning Alliance
(details below). You may also contact Logistics Learning
Alliance, Fritz Institute or the CILT(UK) for further information.
This certification programme is a practical work-based qualification
which will equip students with a complete set of supply
chain management skills. The LLA competency approach provides
an opportunity for experienced practitioners to gain an
internationally recognised qualification
attesting to their competence in humanitarian supply chain
management. |

| Duration |
|
The estimated time to completion
for CHSCM is 15-18 months, given 3-5 hours per study each
week. CILT (UK) allows a maximum of three years to complete
the course. |
Participants'
Profile |
|
Suitable candidates for the
CHSCM programme will normally have had at least six months
operational logistics experience within a humanitarian aid
environment. They will hold, or aspire to hold, senior logistics
positions in humanitarian organisations. Completion of the
CHL
programme, while not a pre-requisite of the CHSCM course,
would demonstrate the necessary
competence at an operational level in a management role. |
| Structure |
|
We will allocate you a specialist
coach who will support, guide and assist you to the conclusion
of
the qualification. The coach’s role is to ensure
that you are able to access the required learning
and then to steer you through its effective application
in a real life operational setting. Our
coaches have been involved with training people working
in the supply chain and its related
activities for many years. |
