When AST&L (American Society of Transportation and Logistics) announced their merger with APICS earlier this year I posted the question, “What About My CTL?”. Here is some info from the APICS website announcing the end of the CTL process and leading to more questions. I would like to hear from other AST&L members especially since I just completed the re-certification process. Here is what I would like to know:
APICS says prior earned certifications will remain valid. Valid for what exactly?
Will CTL holders be grandfathered in the new APICS logistics certification? I certainly hope so.
