Transportation Intermediaries Association Representing the Third Party Logistics industry
Alexandria, VA – Dec 8, 2011 -Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) the voice of the $162 billion third-party logistics industry, has granted 30 industry professionals the designation of Certified Transportation Broker (CTB) in recognition of their successful completion of a rigorous course of study and passing a thorough and comprehensive examination. This is the highest certification for participants in the 3PL industry.
The CTB designation truly distinguishes brokers in today's competitive transportation marketplace, said TIA President and CEO Robert Voltmann. CTB is the mark of respect for transportation intermediaries. Congratulations to this latest group of Certified Transportation Brokers.
This program was created in 1986 to significantly increase the professionalism and integrity of property brokers. The CTB program tests the knowledge of participants on brokerage, ethics, contracts, pricing, legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the latest trends in transportation and business management.
While 55 persons took the examination only 30 passed which shows the rigorous nature of the test. Participants must earn at least five candidate points, which are based on professional experience and education to be eligible to take the examination. The participants must also have at least one year of experience working as a broker. Candidates may earn additional CTB eligibility points if they have completed formal education such as being granted a Bachelor's or a Master's degree.
TIA also offers an online CTB Home Study Course that lasts for a period of up to 17 weeks in addition to sponsoring the examination. The course, which entails meticulous study, helps to prepare those individuals who are seeking CTB certification to prepare for the examination.
