Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements for this qualification.

  • Providers can set their own conditions, such as a minimum age or a current job in the industry, and practical training may need a workplace placement. Check each provider above.

Entry recommendations

To be prepared for this course, it helps to have:

  • an interest in keeping people safe at work
  • a careful approach to following procedures
  • good communication skills for guiding a team
  • an interest in how supply chains operate

What will you learn?

A large share of the study sits on the safety side of the work: the chain of responsibility duties that apply to transport activities, and the systems that manage driver and worker fatigue. You also learn to monitor how an operation is performing against its targets and to guide the people working in it. It suits someone already in logistics, warehousing, scheduling or procurement who is stepping into a supervisory or coordination role, and there are no entry requirements.

  • Fatigue risk management
  • Chain of responsibility duties
  • Transport safety monitoring
