National Professional Development Programme

Ārahina · Whakaako · Whakatupu

Aotearoa’s most versatile
logistics development programme

A business-agnostic, pan-industry professional development programme built for operations, logistics and supply chain specialists at every level — from emerging practitioners to senior leaders.

About the programme

Professional development designed by the industry, for the industry

Industry Teaching brings together hundreds of pan-logistics practitioners across Aotearoa New Zealand in a single, unified professional development community. Unlike siloed in-house training, this programme is deliberately business-agnostic — what you learn here applies wherever your career takes you.

Designed to grow alongside the sector, the programme welcomes freight forwarders, warehouse managers, supply chain analysts, transport planners, and procurement professionals under one roof. Your peers are your greatest resource.

“He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.” What is the greatest thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people.

Designed for

  • Freight and transport operations specialists
  • Warehouse and inventory professionals
  • Supply chain analysts and planners
  • Procurement and vendor management teams
  • Emerging logistics leaders at any career stage
  • Senior practitioners seeking structured CPD
  • Team leaders building high-performance operations

How it works

Straightforward by design

We have removed the barriers that typically prevent busy professionals from committing to ongoing development. A single enrolment opens every door.

01

Enrol once — belong for life

A single enrolment fee registers you as a lifetime member as long as you remain active, and allows you to grow into a Follow of LINZ. No annual renewals, no membership tiers.

02

Earn five CPD points annually

Each year of active participation earns you five Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, recognised across the logistics and supply chain sector. Your engagement is formally acknowledged.

03

New content every six months

Every six months, a fresh programme is released, developed by industry specialists — keeping the programme current, practical, and grounded in real operational experience.

04

Business-agnostic — your career, your context

The programme is intentionally independent of any single business or sector subsegment. Everything you learn transfers across employers, industries, and career transitions. It is professional development that truly belongs to you.

Our specialists

Practitioners teaching practitioners

Every six months, industry specialists from across the logistics and supply chain sector volunteer their expertise to shape the coaching content. This is genuine knowledge-sharing from people doing the work.

Specialists represent organisations of all sizes — from regional freight operators to multinational supply chain groups — ensuring the programme reflects the full breadth of the industry.

“Ka tū a mua, ka tū a muri — those who lead and those who follow, stand together.”

Delivered at all levels

Content is structured to be relevant regardless of where you sit in your organisation or career journey.

  • Operations and team leadership
  • Logistics planning and execution
  • Supply chain strategy and resilience
  • Procurement and supplier relationships
  • Cross-functional collaboration
  • Continuous improvement frameworks
