What is this programme?
The Supply Chain & Logistics Basics Certificate from ecertificate.pro is a self-paced online program covering demand planning, inventory control, lead time management and supplier evaluation. It teaches the working calculations used daily in operations roles: reorder points, safety inventory, economic order quantity, days of supply, forecast accuracy and on-time in-full scoring. The program runs about 20 hours and ends with an online assessment; passing releases a certificate with a unique verification code inside your private ecertificate.pro panel. That code is queried only against the ecertificate.pro database, because ecertificate.pro is an independent training provider - the certificate is not government-approved, is not accredited by any national education authority, and grants no professional license or title. It does not guarantee employment; it documents that you completed a defined body of coursework and passed the assessment.
Who it is for
Warehouse and purchasing staff moving into planning roles, small-business owners who order and hold inventory, e-commerce operators running their own fulfillment, and analysts or graduates preparing for junior supply chain and logistics interviews.
What you will be able to do
- Build a rolling monthly demand forecast from shipment history and measure its accuracy with MAPE and forecast bias, so you know how far the plan can be trusted.
- Calculate reorder point, safety inventory and economic order quantity for a real item, and defend the service-level assumption behind each number.
- Segment an item list with ABC-XYZ analysis and apply a different counting and review rule to each segment instead of treating every item alike.
- Decompose lead time into order processing, supplier production, transit, customs clearance and putaway, then shorten the longest component first.
- Score suppliers on a weighted scorecard covering on-time in-full delivery, quality reject rate, responsiveness and price stability, and run a quarterly review from it.
- Build a landed-cost sheet that puts three quotations on identical Incoterms so freight, duty and insurance are compared on the same basis.
- Diagnose the common failures - stockouts, aging inventory, the bullwhip effect, expedited freight spend - and trace each one back to the planning rule that caused it.

How it works
Learning format
Self-paced written material, downloaded from your dashboard. No fixed schedule and no live sessions — you work through it when it suits you.
Material delivery
Everything appears in your dashboard as soon as your payment is confirmed. Files are served only to your signed-in session.
Prerequisites
No prior supply chain experience is required. You need arithmetic confidence and basic spreadsheet skills - SUMIFS, averages, standard deviation and simple charts - because most exercises are built in a spreadsheet. All templates are provided and no ERP access is needed.
Completion
Work through the eight modules at your own pace and complete the spreadsheet exercises, then pass the final calculation and multiple-choice assessment with 70% or higher. The certificate, carrying its unique verification code, appears in your private ecertificate.pro panel immediately after you pass.
Your certificate
Once your completion is confirmed, we prepare your certificate and upload it to your dashboard, normally within 24–48 hours. You receive an e-mail as soon as it is there — you never have to chase it.
Refunds
Because the material is delivered digitally and immediately, purchases are non-refundable once the files have been made available to your account. The full terms are in our Refund Policy.
