Prepare for the APICS Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution (CLTD) exam through 40+ guided hours of live online training, recordings, an AI-powered LMS, 3,000+ practice and revision resources, mock exams and structured support for working professionals worldwide. EduDelphi provides independent CLTD preparation; ASCM controls the official examination, registration, certification and maintenance policies.
What Is the CLTD Certification?
CLTD stands for Certified in Logistics, Transportation and Distribution. It is an APICS certification administered by the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM). The credential focuses on the movement of goods and the operational decisions behind logistics strategy, order management, inventory, warehousing, transportation, global logistics, network design, sustainability and reverse logistics.
APICS and ASCM: APICS is the certification and training brand used by ASCM. Candidates earn the official CLTD designation by passing ASCM’s examination; EduDelphi helps candidates prepare for that separate official route.

Learn Through Logistics Case Studies, Not Definitions Alone
Example: service pressure across a distribution network
A distribution team is missing service targets after a demand spike. Inventory is available, but it sits in the wrong locations. Carrier capacity is tightening, expedited freight is rising and warehouse teams are facing cut-off pressure.
In class, learners work through the decision before jumping to an answer: what evidence matters, which service and cost metrics should be reviewed, where capacity is constrained, and how inventory, transport and customer commitments interact.

The strongest credential is the one that matches the responsibility you want to own next.
| Credential | Primary focus | Best fit when |
|---|---|---|
| CLTD | Logistics, transportation, warehousing and distribution | You own movement, fulfilment, transport, warehouse or service-performance decisions. |
| CPIM | Planning, production, inventory and internal supply | You work close to demand, supply, MRP, materials, scheduling or inventory policy. |
| CSCP | End-to-end supply-chain strategy | You need a wider view across planning, sourcing, logistics, risk, technology and leadership. |
| CIPS | Procurement and purchasing | Your primary responsibility is sourcing, supplier management and procurement capability. |
