¡°Will certification help me get a better job? My answer is ¡°It sure helped me¡±...Without the certification from AST&L, I would never have been considered for the job. With it I had both the background and confidence needed.¡±

CTLs are from...
The Certified in Transportation and Logistics (CTL) program is the core of the American Society of Transportation and Logistics. The CTL Certification program began in 1948 and is the most widely recognized professional credential in the U.S. logistics industry. The CTL has been the industry standard of excellence in transportation and logistics management. It is the oldest and most respected transportation and logistics industry certification in the United States.

This program offers the designation of CTL to candidates who demonstrate their understanding of the fundamentals of the profession through the successful completion of four modules of required study material, as well as two elective modules. The Society¡¯s modules and associated examinations are prepared by a Board of Examiners consisting of Certified Educator Members within AST&L. It is possible for candidates to receive waivers on the basis of education.

For 60 years, American logistics professionals have understood the value of the CTL and the benefits that it brings. U.S. government, educational institutions and corporations have supported the CTL credential and continue to contribute to its development. The advancement of logistics has a major contributor to the United States becoming the world leader in global logistics management.

¡°We had good cooperation with ASTL for many years. CTL is the preferable requirement or sometimes even mandatory requirement for some positions for Department of Transportation when we choose candidates.¡±
