The CCLP challenge exam evaluates the competencies of a logistics professional and is a quick, way of verifying the abilities you've developed through your career and previous education.

Of course, even if you have confidence in your supply chain logistics competencies, you may not know exactly what to expect in the challenge exam process. That's why we offer resources to help you prepare for both the exam component and the practical interview. 

While these resources will help you prepare for the challenge exam, they are not substitutes for learning the competencies validated by the exam. They will help you know what to expect in terms of format and content, and give you an accurate sense of how successful you'll be pursuing the challenge exam path to becoming a CITT-Certified Logistics Professional.

Practice Test for the Challenge Exam

Take a shorter, optional Practice Test to help assess your readiness for the Challenge Exam.

You can sign up for the test at any time. Taking it will give you a sense of what the Challenge Exam will be like. After you take this test, you'll receive a report showing how you scored relative to the pass standard, overall and within each competency area. And we'll give you an assessment of your readiness to qualify for the CCLP designation via the Challenge Exam. You'll also receive personalized suggestions for additional preparatory learning, if needed, to develop competency area knowledge where you scored far from the standard.

Based on your results you may opt to proceed to the full Challenge Exam, or you may decide there are some specific areas you need to brush up on before challenging in.

You can sign up for the Practice Test any time, and will receive instructions and login information within 3 business days of registering. Once you've completed the Practice Test, you'll receive your results and recommendation within 5 business days. Click here to sign up to take the Practice Test. The Practice Test costs $299 + taxes, or $249 + taxes for those who have previously taken a CITT course. Contact us at info@citt.ca to register at the $249 rate.
