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 competences and expertise enables graduates to analyze and organize 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 competences 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 seven modules of three days each - 21 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.

Participants are expected to carry out further self-study in between modules and implement their learnt skills back in their companies as soon as possible. Recommended reading is provided and regular correspondence is made with a nominated supporting manager back in the workplace to ensure the participant is maximising their opportunities.

The Academy is also designed to be flexible to the individual or group needs. In this way, the participants are encouraged to discuss current issues and devise solutions to customer requirements or changing environmental conditions. The participants are encouraged to build a ‘toolbox’ of knowledge and skills to tackle such conditions, both now and in the future.

Benefits

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 networking opportunities for participants is unique. The Academy brings together in each course, over 20 individuals representing their company and disciplines from across Europe. After 21 days of close working conditions, all the participants will have an intimate knowledge of each other’s personal and business skills that cannot be gained from a normal business relationship or industry conferences.

The course culminates in the award of Certified Automobile Logistician, 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. Investments in people, especially future leaders cannot be underestimated.
