Advanced Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (ADACLM055) at LSTH

The Advanced Diploma in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (ADACLM055) is built for cargo staff who can already navigate an export shed and now want the qualification to formally lead one. It sits at supervisor/junior-manager level — past entry, before degree — and concentrates on the planning, decision-making and compliance work that defines that step up.

Variants of an advanced diploma exist because intakes and module sequencing vary slightly between cohorts. The ADACLM055 cohort is one such pathway; the core territory remains the same.
