The ECG Academy equips the students who participate to assume management responsibilities in the vehicle logistics field. The acquired competences and expertise enables graduates to analyse and organise complex logistics networks. In various modules, covering a variety of specialised topics, the participants gain insights into all relevant aspects of vehicle logistics functions and processes. Case studies, practical insights at logistics locations in Europe as well as practice oriented work on example tenders provide the competencies for delivering the highest quality services throughout the branch.
The ECG Board initiated the Academy to help the members of the industry to deliver the highest possible standards of service to their customers. The knowledge and skills of the young professionals on their way to top management are honed to secure the future of the business. We are convinced that finished vehicle logistics service providers (LSPs), together with their customers, can work together to continuously improve processes. The ECG Academy gives power to this vision.
Accredited by the European Business School the ECG Academy uniquely provides the only formal qualification available in Europe today in the field of finished vehicle logistics. In fact we know of no other similar qualification anywhere else in the world and, as it becomes more widely known, ECG is now taking enquiries from as far afield as Asia and Australia from companies interested in sending people to future courses.
Features
The course takes place over 5 modules in 19 days of intensive practice oriented training. These modules are held at different locations around Europe to give the participants insights into the practical realities of the different elements that make up vehicle logistics, as well as the regional variations across the enlarged European Community.
The lectures are given by a combination of academic staff from various Universities across Europe, as well as senior practicing logistics professionals and suppliers from the sector. The outcome is therefore an excellent balanced combination of theoretical training in logistics disciplines and practical examples from the sector.
Alongside the lectures, there is an example tender that allows the participants to experience a tender process in a ‘safe’ environment, whilst practicing some of their newly learnt skills.

Benefits
So far 117 participants from more than 50 companies have graduated, creating a unique network of qualified young managers now leading the sector.
Middle managers are able to gain a vast wealth of knowledge in an accelerated timeframe, but in as much depth as they require. This is vital to a company which wants to develop their future leaders quickly.
The course culminates in the award of the Certificate of Automobile Logistics Management, which is an accredited qualification. The automotive industry is one of the most professional in the world and requires trained and qualified individuals to maintain this reputation. Investment in people, especially future leaders, cannot be underestimated.
