Institute of Logistical Management (ILM) Poised to Deliver Meaningful

21st Century Education to People in Far-Reaching Markets And

Geographies

BURLINGTON, N.J., Feb. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the Institute of

Logistical Management (ILM) is lowering its tuition to $400 per course

for all undergraduate courses leading to the Certified Logistics

Practitioner (CLP) Certification. The CLP is four core undergraduate

courses and two elective courses that help prepare students to compete

for transportation and logistics jobs and promotions.

"As the economy slowly improves folks need a competitive edge to take

advantage of emerging opportunities. Our CLP Certification provides

knowledge and tools designed to provide real value in logistical

operations, making certification holders true assets to firms with

logistically oriented activities," said Frank Breslin, Dean at ILM and

a leader in transportation and logistics markets for over 40 years. "I

talk to current and past students all the time, and they consistently

tell me how much value they place in their education from ILM."

The logistics industry in the US tops $1 Trillion dollars annually,

and with global competition and global trade, supply chain and

transportation activities continue to rise. Knowledge to operate and

the ability to drive efficiencies into these areas benefit both

companies and individuals, as well as societies in modern and

developing countries. "From limes to laptops, its logistics," noted

Jay Brennan, CEO at ILM. "If you stop for a moment and think about it,

pretty much everything gets put on a truck at some point. That's

logistics. Even e-commerce and digital goods start out on trucks, the

infrastructure and computer hardware have to get to the data centers

somehow."

"We gave it a considerable amount of thought," continued CEO Brennan,

"and reducing the tuition costs just made real social sense. If we can

get ourselves better educated as a society we can start to take

advantage of our own inherent knowledge, which will lead to economic

and market improvements."

"You can't have the lowest tuition in North America for your MBA

program and not address the cost of your undergraduate courses and the

value the CLP Certification delivers to people and firms." Dr. David

Lady, ILM Provost observed: "Between the excellent existing

practitioner courses and the new graduate MBA program

(www.ilm.edu/mba), ILM is now positioned to deliver meaningful cost

effective 21st century education to people in wide reaching markets

and geographies."
