Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM065)
Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM065) at LSTH
Cargo is the quiet half of aviation. Passengers get the attention, but freight pays a lot of the bills — and the people who actually move that freight need very specific knowledge. The Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM065) is a short, focused entry route into that side of the industry, written for people who want a first qualification rather than a degree.
You will work through how shipments are booked, how an Air Waybill is constructed, how dangerous goods get categorised, and how a warehouse moves an outbound consignment from receipt to ULD build-up. Nothing fancy, nothing inflated — just the workflow as cargo agents actually live it.
Why Air Cargo Skills Are Worth Having Right Now
E-commerce, pharma logistics and time-sensitive perishables have all pushed air cargo volumes back up. Handlers, airline cargo desks and freight forwarders are recruiting steadily for entry-level staff who already know the basics rather than needing to learn the AWB from scratch. The Certificate in Air Cargo Management (CACM065) is built to sit on a CV next to a job application for exactly those openings.
Who This Certificate Is For
- School leavers aiming at handler roles at major cargo terminals.
- People already in warehousing or logistics who want to move specifically into air freight.
- Travel-trade staff curious about the cargo side of an airline.
- International students looking for a short, practical aviation qualification.
Where the Certificate Leads
Graduates typically progress into cargo agent, documentation officer, warehouse coordinator and customer service roles at ground handlers, freight forwarders and airline cargo offices. From there, internal promotion into supervisor or operations duty manager positions is common — though, as with any field, it depends on performance and openings.
