MAP has stopped to accept CILT students since 1 Jan 08

THE Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport Malaysia (CILTM) is at the final stage of cooperation with several Government-recognised local universities to provide training for its future members.

Acting president Datuk Capt Abdul Rahim Abdul Aziz said the move was in line with the institute's decision to stop sending its student-member to the Malaysian Association of Productivity (MAP) for training since Jan 1.

“The Malaysian Qualifications Agency and Public Service Department does not recognised MAP as a private institute of higher learning.

“MAP has been instructed not to accept students for the Advanced Diploma in Logistics Management course since early this year,” he told StarBiz.

Given MAP's unrecognised status, Abdul Rahim said students in the year of 2006 and 2007 only achieved personal-to-holder recognition.

“However, students who are currently taking courses at MAP are advised to contact CILTM immediately for further instructions.

“Future students who wish to undergo the course are also advised to contact the institute,” he said.

CILTM is part of Britain-based The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) global network.

It is a professional body that supports career development in the logistics and transportation industries.

Membership of CILT, which is represented in over 30 countries, provides the latest news and information of the industry as well as presents opportunities for continuous professional development.
