Education
CILTNA membership is for emerging as well as established professionals and executives in logistics and transport. Membership requires post-secondary education from a recognized institute that is chartered by government, or accredited by CILTNA, or otherwise satisfactory to the National Board.
Post-nominals
CILTNA’s three graded membership levels allow members to add the post-nominal letters MILT, CMILT, or FCILT after their name in any correspondence or on their curriculum vitae. These post-nominals are a professional designation exclusive to CILT International and its territories, and are recognized worldwide as certifying personal accomplishment and stature in the profession.
Fees
Prices are in CAD or USD equivalent. Canadian members also pay sales tax at the applicable rate. There is no tax for US members, or other members in the Americas.
Corporate members
CILTNA welcomes corporate members and encourages them to nominate high-potential people from their organization to participate in CILTNA events as part of the membership package. If you are one of these people, you are also welcome to join CILTNA and receive the personal benefits and stature of graded membership.

CILT membership grades provide formal recognition of the skills and experience of members as they progress in their careers.
