What does the CILT assessment involve?
CILT assessment is by assignments and examinations, arranged through the training provider. The course page lists the details for each level, so read the page for the level you choose before you enroll.
The modules of the International Diploma in Logistics and Transport cover management in logistics and transport and supply chain operations, plus electives such as warehousing, transport planning and freight. Ask an advisor how long the diploma takes, then set that against your own calendar. Assignments are the part to plan around when your job is busy: block the hours in your diary before you start, not after the first deadline arrives.
Which Dubai logistics roles does the CILT diploma fit?
The CILT International Diploma in Logistics and Transport fits mid level logistics and transport professionals, supply chain executives and supervisors, freight and warehouse professionals, and transport and distribution coordinators.
Dubai Law No. 4 of 2023 established the Dubai Ports Authority to regulate, operate and manage ports and handling terminals, including Port Rashid, Al Hamriya and Jebel Ali. If your work touches terminals or cargo handling, the freight and warehousing electives are closest to your day.
The Roads and Transport Authority was established by Dubai Law No. 17 of 2005 to provide an integrated transport system covering roads, vehicles, buses, trains and maritime transport. If you plan fleets, routes or deliveries, look at the transport planning elective. If you work inside Jafza, DP World's flagship free zone at Jebel Ali, the warehousing and freight electives are the ones to ask about.
What are the eligibility rules for CILT?
Entry requirements can change, so ask an advisor to confirm them for your level before you pay.
Tell the advisor your current job title, your years in logistics or transport and any earlier study. Then ask which level fits you. The program pages list who each program suits, and that list is the quickest first check.
How much does CILT cost in Dubai?
The International Diploma in Logistics and Transport is listed at AED 7,500, live online. The International Certificate in Logistics and Transport is listed at AED 7,300, also live online.
The exam is separate from the course fee, so ask an advisor what it costs.
Can you study CILT live online, or in a class in Dubai?
Both CILT programs above are listed as live online, so you can attend from your office or home in Dubai.
If you would rather sit in a room, ask an advisor whether the Blue Ocean office in Dubai or a class arranged locally is possible for your program. Do not plan around a class until an advisor has told you it can be arranged.
Which program should you choose?
Choose by your current role first, then by how much structure you need. Start with this list, and ask an advisor if your role is not on it.
