Certified Automobile Logistician

Practice-oriented, intensive course for innovative Logistics Professionals

The Finished Vehicle Logistics Academy equips the participants to assume management responsibilities in the vehicle logistics field. The acquired competencies and expertise enables graduates to analyse and organise complex logistics networks. In various special topic modules 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 a practice oriented work on example tenders provide the competencies for high quality services throughout the branch.

The ECG Board initiated the Academy to reach a top quality level for the customers. The knowledge and skills of the young professionals on their way to top management provide great chances for the future of the business. We are convinced that finished vehicle logistics service providers, together with their customers, can develop continuously improving processes. The ECG Academy gives the power to this vision.

Features

The course takes place over 6 modules, 19 days in all, 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 the logistics discipline 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.
