Why Study Transport Management?

One of the most important activities at the heart of every logistics strategy, transport management concerns the physical transportation of goods or persons between locations.  It is the responsibility of the transport manager to ensure that all shipments arrive in their intended destination on time and in an appropriate condition.  While some transport managers specialise in everyday goods and commodities, others work exclusively in the field of passenger transportation.  Successful careers in transport management are built upon a strong foundation of critical thinking, advanced analytical skills and effective communication.  Not to mention, an extensively solution-oriented mindset and the ability to remain objective in high-pressure situations.  In return, qualified transportation managers gain access to an extensive job market worldwide.  From product manufacturers to logistics companies to travel agencies, career opportunities are wide open for talented transportation specialists.

This is a fully endorsed Level 3 Certificate in Transport Management, open to candidates worldwide with no entry-requirements to fulfil.  Boost your career prospects by studying from home at a time and pace to suit your lifestyle, with expert tutor support provided from start to finish.  Course content covers the following transport management topics:
