ACCREDITATION & QUALITY ASSURANCE
 
1. Aims and Objectives
The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK) is committed to working in partnership with local academic institutions to professionalise the Transport, Logistics and Supply Chain and to give students the edge they need to succeed in their future careers.

CILTHK sets the standards for tertiary education (sub-degree/degree/postgraduate) courses delivered by local academic institutions. Accredited courses offer exemption from the education requirements for Membership (MILT) or Chartered Membership (CMILT). We only accredit those programmes that meet the requirements needed for students to excel within our profession. The accredited programmes should provide for the development in depth of knowledge and skills in specific areas of transport, logistics and supply chain or related areas.

To facilitate CILTHK to achieve its vision, an accreditation system was established. It aims to:
  1. Accredit any local logistics- or transport-oriented programmes which fully or partially meet the education requirements for Chartered Membership of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CMILT) (The standard set for the Professional Qualifying Examination) of the CILTHK is that of an honours degree level);
  2. To inform members about the procedures for accrediting educational programmes for Chartered Membership;
  3. To establish a procedure for accreditation which is accessible to all students and to ensure common educational standards;
  4. To provide guidelines on Continuing Professional Development for members to upgrade themselves with the latest developments in transport and logistics.
