Building Resilient Trade Systems and Globally Certified Professionals

The Building Supply Chain Resilience Project is a comprehensive capability-building initiative designed to strengthen supply chain resilience, enhance trade expertise, and support sustainable economic growth. It connects practical training with internationally recognised certification, creating a clear pathway from learning to global professional recognition.

Participants are offered a structured pathway that goes beyond training—linking applied learning directly to internationally recognised certification and global career advancement.

Applied Knowledge Assessment & ISO Certification

Following completion of the training program, participants will undertake an ISO-aligned Applied Knowledge Assessment. This assessment is designed to validate practical competencies in supply chain and global trade. Successful participants will become eligible to progress to the in-person immersion component, where knowledge is further tested and applied in real-world scenarios.

This milestone is more than an evaluation—it is the gateway to professional certification and global recognition.

Pathway to Global Trade Professional (GTP) Certification

Participants who advance through the program will have the opportunity to pursue the Global Trade Professional (GTP) designation, a globally recognised certification aligned with ISO/IEC 17024 standards. This credential formally recognises expertise in international trade, supply chain management, and strategic trade practices.

What This Means for Supply Chain Participants

Through this integrated pathway, participants will receive:

  • ISO-aligned certification in Supply Chain Management
  • A Global Trade Passport, validating international trade capability
  • Membership within a global network of trade professionals
  • A Specialist Passport in Trade Strategy, focused on competitive foresight and policy-level thinking

Why This Matters

This initiative connects capability development directly to tangible outcomes:

  • Recognition as a certified expert in global trade and supply chains
  • Access to international networks, partnerships, and opportunities
  • Enhanced credibility for leadership, advisory, and strategic roles
  • Practical tools to influence trade policy, economic development, and business growth

Who This Is Designed For

This pathway is ideal for professionals across government, industry, and advisory roles—particularly those involved in supply chain management, trade strategy, logistics, and economic development.

Looking Ahead

The DFAT Supply Chain Project is not just a training program—it is a career acceleration platform. By linking applied learning with ISO certification and the GTP designation, participants are positioned to become trusted, globally recognised leaders in trade and supply chain excellence.

Further details on assessment timelines, immersion participation, and certification application processes will be shared with participants upon completion of the training phase.
