CHL: Humanitarian Logistics Self-Guided Practice

In this 39-hour self-guided practice program, you will build your knowledge and demonstrate your skills in the management of logistics within humanitarian aid supply chain operations. This learning experience consists of seven units each featuring a series of scenario-based tasks and skill check questions. As you go through each task, you will be prompted with learning materials and resources to help you learn and answer questions on key topics including: warehousing and inventory, procurement, transport, fleet management, cash transfer programming, and managing a humanitarian supply chain response.

Completion requirements:

You must achieve an overall score of 80% to pass and complete each unit. Once you complete Units 1-6, Unit 7 will be unlocked. Unit 7 is an assessment of what you learned in Units 1-6. You can retake all the tasks in each unit as many times needed to pass and complete the unit.

Created by a team of humanitarian logistics practitioners from ICRC, CRS, Oxfam, WFP, and MSF and led by Fritz Institute, this self-guided practice was designed for professionals working in a logistics function in the humanitarian and development sectors, or for anyone working in commercial or military logistics intending to move into the humanitarian sector. Development of this self-guided practice was funded in part by USAID.
