Routes many people do not think of straight away. Every statement names source and date; what is missing reads “not documented yet”.

  • Certified Freight Transport and Logistics Specialist (Bachelor Professional)

    You develop and market freight transport and logistics services, manage how they are delivered and lead teams. The qualification is regulated nationwide through the chambers of commerce (IHK).

    Why you fit

    Your logistics practice and university credits from a related degree can count toward admission. The qualification formally proves your logistics expertise, but it is not an academic step up beyond your diploma.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Admission under § 53c BBiG, including at least 90 credits from a related degree plus at least two years of work experience. A course does not grant admission; however, if you neither live nor work in the IHK Köln district, you need a course certificate from a provider in that district. The exam is written and oral, DQR level 6.
