The '''Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport''' (CILT) is a [[professional body]] representing the [[transport]] and [[logistics]] industries worldwide. It is a membership based organisation with over 30,000 members in over 30 countries. This international body is also known as '''CILT International''' to distinguish it from the [[#Representation|National Councils, sections and branches]].
The principal objective of the CILT is "To promote and encourage the art and science of logistics and transport", which it achieves both through its membership and [[professional certification|professional qualifications]]. It provides extensive opportunities for training and learning opportunities with a range of internationally recognise qualifications and courses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ciltinternational.org/education-development/international-courses/|title=International courses - CILT|publisher=|accessdate=9 June 2018}}</ref> For those who need support and assistance with their Continuous Professional Development (CPD) CILT have an International Awards Committee that offer a range of scholarships and awards. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ciltinternational.org/education-development/awards-and-sponsorship/|title=Awards and sponsorship - CILT|publisher=|accessdate=9 June 2018}}</ref>
==History==
The Institute of Transport (IoT) was founded 3 November 1919 and granted a [[Royal Charter]] in 1926<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ciltinternational.org/about-cilt/our-story/|title=Our story - CILT|publisher=|accessdate=9 June 2018}}</ref> to become the Chartered Institute of Transport (CIT).
In 1999 the Chartered Institute of Transport and the Institute of Logistics (IoL) combined activities to become the Institute of Logistics and Transport (IOLT). In 2004 "chartered" was adopted into the title, which now reads Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
== Membership and Chartered membership ==
The institute of Logistics and Transport offers 5 grades of membership: Associate, Student, Member (MILT), Chartered Member (CMILT) and Chartered Fellow (FCILT).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ciltinternational.org/membership/individual-cilt-membership/membership-levels/|title=Membership Levels - CILT|publisher=|accessdate=9 June 2018}}</ref>
Chartered Membership is the Institute's senior professional grade of membership. Only professional bodies that have been granted the Royal Charter can award chartered membership, such as: Chemical, Electrical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineers; Certified, Chartered, Public Finance Accountants; and Surveyors. CILT's Chartership is of equivalent standing to these, and applying for it requires demonstrating achievement of educational attainment, professional competence and (CPD) to a panel. A Chartered Member is awarded the [[post-nominal letters]] CMILT.
