The key to meeting the challenges is to regularly update our professional knowledge, develop and refine our skills centered on lifelong learning or Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The benefits of CPD become apparent to us when it comes down to a competitive comparison and the associated qualification edge. A CPD portfolio can act as an extension to our Curriculum Vitae giving detailed information about our advancing professional knowledge and competency. Moreover, with members participating in CPD, the Institute s reputation is enhanced, as ours will be. Wider still the logistics and transport profession benefits with an improvement in the public's perception of the profession and in the industry confidence that in return benefits all CILT members. Under the Institute s quality assurance system, all Chartered Members (CMILT) should continue to develop relevant knowledge, skill and expertise throughout their careers. CMILTs must keep records of CPD activities available for audit - minimum 200 CPD points every 2 years starting from 1st October The format of CPD activities which require our CMILTs active participation may include: Additional formal education through universities or under the auspices of recognised professional bodies Research, preparation and writing of technical or professional articles, papers or books Serving as a member of committees and working groups of CILT or a relevant professional body Participating in site visits of logistics and transport industry Self-paced learning and reading of the technical and professional literature that are relevant to the field of practice Participating in lectures, conferences and seminars organized by CILT in Hong Kong or with similar nature in logistics and transport industry. The Guidance Notes of the CPD Programmes that provide guidelines on the types of activities that constitute continuing professional development as well as the CPD Record Sheet are available for download from the Institute s web site ( The first round of random CPD audit will commence shortly.

Nine tertiary institutions including the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi Nexus), of Professional and Continuing Education of the University of Hong Kong, LIFE of Lingnan University and Hong Kong College of Technology took part in this competition. Just like last year, each team was given a topic on logistics or transport at random and was allowed one and a half hours to prepare a presentation in English. The competition was tense as the participating students competed strongly under challenge from peers from other universities and institutes. The standard of all entrants was high and as such, it was difficult for the judge to choose the winner from among them. Ultimately, the best performance by the team from City University of Hong Kong won the Championship while the 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up awards went to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tsing Yi Nexus) respectively. It was really an enjoyable and valuable academic event to territory institutions. The next Student Day 2006 will be held at Lingnan University. Mr. K.Y.
