Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM055)
Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM055) at LSTH
Air freight has its own rhythm — early acceptance cut-offs, build-up windows, customs holds, last-minute reroutes. The Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM055) is for people who want to learn that rhythm from the inside before walking into an interview at a handler, forwarder or airline cargo office.
The programme keeps things grounded. Instead of abstract logistics theory, it walks through how an actual shipment is booked, weighed, documented, screened and tendered to an aircraft. You'll come out of it able to talk about an AWB, ULDs, special cargo categories and warehouse workflows without needing a translator.
The Case for Air Cargo as a First Career Step
Cargo terminals run 24/7, which means real entry-level demand. The work is procedural and detail-driven — exactly the sort of role where a short, targeted qualification stands out on a CV more than a generic one. The Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM055) is designed to be that targeted qualification.

- Warehouse or courier staff wanting to move specifically into air freight.
- Customer service staff at travel agencies looking for an aviation-side specialism.

What Graduates Typically Do Next
