CLTD Certification in Bahrain: Course, Exam and How to Enrol
The Kingdom's role as a light touch logistics gateway to the northern Gulf, anchored by Khalifa Bin Salman Port and the Bahrain Logistics Zone, this is the backdrop against which Bahraini supply chain professionals build careers today. Bahrain's logistics zone and its role as a regional distribution point put warehousing and transport skills in demand. The CLTD, Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution is the premier logistics credential, nine modules from logistics strategy through order management, inventory, warehousing, transportation, global logistics, network design and reverse logistics, with a single 150 question exam, and it is available to professionals across Manama, Muharraq and the Bahrain Logistics Zone through Blue Ocean Academy.
