About Us

Certification Beyond Education

The Logistics Institute delivers professional development programs to individuals, specializing in the supply chain and logistics industry. These programs all lead to certification and professional designation: Professional Logistician (P.Log).

We are an organization that prides itself on pushing our participants and members to think outside the box. We use a unique, holistic and competency-based approach to skill development, honing skills and competencies already within our participants.

  • Emphasis on Leadership

    For an organization to succeed, leadership skills are required by each individual, regardless of their role in the company. So we focus our programs on honing and developing leadership, recognizing that it is not a title or position, but a skill to be developed and continuously built upon.

    This is our key differentiator: we combine SCL knowledge with leadership skills and capacities to create leaders, in organizations and in individual lives.
