@yemmy-ma, I currently work in a supply chain function and have over seven years work experience. The issue is that University of Lancaster is among uk top 10 but my chosen course is not accredited by CIPS and CILT while same course is accredited in Heriot watt university which is rate lower. Pls, somebody with better knowledge should help me out.

@worry246 and those nairalanders interested in helping a brother should please advise on this. Hope for response soon.

Great nairalanders, its nice to know that i have brethern who are always willing to support me in advise concerning career advancement. I just got an offer from university of lancaster which is among uk top 10 university but my concern is that it will not fast track me into CIPS and CILT unlike Heriot watt university that fast track into full membership of both professional bodies. Pls, which among both universities do u think will offer me better career advancement looking at them critically and also how easy it is to gain full membership into CIPS and CILT without fast tracking root from the university. Hope for a response soon.

@worry246 majority of the best schools in my field of study dnt fast track professionally and those that fast track do have very high tuition fees. Am looking at the possibility within the range of 13000 pounds maximum, though currently working with a multinational company here in nigeria whose policy allows up to 2 years career break.

@Joxiri The course is msc logistic and supply chain mgt though considering those universities that can fast track me into full membership CIPS and CILT as i already have more than 5 years experience in supply chain function. There are other schools like lancanster, Duhum and shieffied but dnt fast track also warwick, manchester, liverpool but these ones have high tuition fees compare to my budgets. Thanks for you prompt response.

These days is becoming more evil.

Let me use this great opportunity to commend everyone in the house for an excellent job going on here. I have gone through so many post but this is my very first post.                         

Pls help a brother that is seriously in need of advise on the next step to take inorder to have a dream come through in his career move.                                                 

Am a graduate of engineering with over eight years experience in a multinational company who just completed thirty this year though not married yet but having the dream of being a professional in logistic and supply chain mgt cos that is the area i have bulk of my experience.             

Reasons for wanting to take the course in the uk:
(1) My company do give out career break to its staff, hence will not have to resign my appointment with the company.
(2) On completion of the program from the school i had an offer, i will be fast track to full membership of CIPS and CILT based on my years of work experience. 
(3) International exposure as well as international career networking.         

My confrontations are:
(1) I would have love to settle down soon but my prospect for career move will be at risk due to finance.
(2) Was only able to get school that meet my career aspirations in the uk as well as fast track me into full membership of CIPS and CILT.
(3) Tried doing a distance program but stress and pressure from office did not allowed me considering 12hours+ daily.                                                   
 
My questions are:
(1) Should i make use of the advantage of the career break policy from my company to get the uk msc as well as CIPS and CILT inorder to have better prospect while i prospone settling down.                                                       
(2) Should i invest the money into something else and settle down then my prospect MAY suffer.               
(3) what would my prospect be after getting uk msc also being a full member of CIPS and CILT globally.                                                                       

Hope to hear from my brothers and sisters that are more experience.[left][/left]
