Transportation and distribution management

Course programme

The "Transportation and distribution management" course is designed for individuals who desire a career in the transportation sector or for those whose managerial activities are significantly impacted by transportation operations. This course will help you build a solid foundation to succeed in a senior management role within the supply chain, in a world where the correct functioning of transportation is a crucial success factor.

Over-specializing in a single mode of transportation limits the perspective of those working in the field and reduces their understanding of phenomena in commercial transactions. This can lead to making correct decisions for the department but wrong decisions for the company due to insufficient information.

Training in transportation is not only intended for those working in this sector but also for personnel in procurement or sales, who are frequently involved in contracting and managing transportation operations. Although legislation in international transport is relatively conservative and stable, local changes or those determined by European environmental legislation, decarbonization efforts, fraud, and local protections are continuously evolving, making the transportation business an extremely challenging activity.

Course structure and content

The course, consisting of five sessions, covers the daily operations and key elements of ordering and contracting for all modes of transportation (road, sea, air, etc.), from both financial and managerial perspectives. It also addresses investment perspectives, insurance, risk management, outsourcing, personnel management, IT systems, and partnerships within the supply chain.

The course is enriched with examples, case studies, and meetings with professionals, making it a model of best practices in continuing education. Access to a network of professionals provides significant added value, laying the foundation for long-term partnerships.

Learning methods and certification

Participants have the opportunity to develop their skills through a personalized learning format, both in-person and autonomously at home, with continuous assistance throughout the course.
