The Logistics and Supply Chain Management post-graduate certificate is an 8-month program that provides hands-on education in the field of logistics and supply chain management. The program will prepare students with an existing bachelor's degree to understand and work in the logistics and supply chain management industry in Saskatchewan and Canadian public and private enterprises.

This post-graduate certificate prepares students to manage and coordinate all logistical functions in an enterprise, ranging from acquisitions to receiving and handling, through internal allocation of resources to operations units, to the handling and delivery of output. This program includes course topics in acquisitions and purchasing, inventory control, storage and handling, just-in-time manufacturing, logistics planning, shipping and delivery management, transportation, quality control, resource estimation and allocation, budgeting, strategic management, leadership and business communications.

Students will develop skills and knowledge in the fields of procurement, negotiations, leadership, logistics, risk management and information systems. You will apply theory to real-world scenarios in business situations, case studies, group projects, role-playing exercises and advanced simulation platforms. Students will benefit from our extensive industry partnerships which allow them to participate in work-integrated learning opportunities.

Admission method

First Qualified/First Admitted

The First Qualified/First Admitted (FQFA) process is used for the majority of Saskatchewan Polytechnic programs. When we determine that you meet the program's admission requirements, you will be offered admission based on the date you fully qualify for the program. The earlier you provide the appropriate documents and information that qualify you for admission to the next intake, the earlier you might begin your studies. Your application, once qualified, is always considered for the next intake.

Applicants to programs with multiple intakes in an academic year remain in the application pool until the last intake for that academic year has begun. Programs using the FQFA process receive applications year round and maintain an application pool for each academic year. Qualified applicants who are not offered a seat must reapply for the next academic year.

Sponsored programs or programs targeted to specific groups do not accept applications year round or maintain an application pool.

See Admission Processes for more information about this method of admission.
