Entry Award in Logistics & Transport

Operating at Level 1 (school-leaver standard) this qualification was developed in 2015 and gives a basic grounding in transport and logistics knowledge.

 

As it is at basic level, the course is normally run as a single qualification, but the units can be taken as separate modules if that suits the needs of the learner. This course does use one of the units from the Introductory Certificate qualification, so anyone progressing to Level 2 would not need to retake this module.

Students studying our qualifications will automatically gain access to the Knowledge Centre – giving access to an extensive range of best practice and learning material.

 

WHO IS THE COURSE SUITABLE FOR?

 

This course is ideal for school-leavers, apprentices, and those exploring a career in logistics or transport at a basic level. It is ideal for young people planning to enter the sector.

 

WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
Overall the course is made up of 100 notional learning hours. Assessment is by examination and an assessed workbook. 

This course can be studied as an intensive block, or part-time as part of an ongoing induction program or apprenticeship program. As a full-time program, the course will take around four weeks or 3-6 months part time depending on the number and frequency of contact sessions.

International Diploma in Logistics & Transport

For entry to the International Diploma candidates are expected to have significant knowledge of logistics and transport operations and an awareness of the integrated nature of supply chain activities. Ideally, candidates should be contributing to the establishment of activity plans to support organisational operations. In most cases, this is through their own work experience and /or knowledge gained from studying the International Introductory Certificate and Certificate level courses.

Successful completion of the CILT International Diploma together with a minimum of two years’ appropriate experience meets the eligibility criteria for membership upgrade from Student Member to Member (MILT) of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.

Candidates study a total of four units: one mandatory unit, one or two electives (from a choice of three) and one or two optional units (from a choice of 13). Assessment is by examination.

It is also possible for a single unit to be taken as a stand-alone course.

Students studying our qualifications will automatically gain access to the Knowledge Centre – giving access to an extensive range of best practice and learning material.

 

WHO IS THE COURSE SUITABLE FOR?
The course is designed to support professionals involved in planning logistics operations and who are already in supervisory or operational management roles. It could also be taken by graduates with non-business degrees moving into the logistics field. Please note, however, that given the application of learning necessary to succeed on the programme, candidates should be already working in the industry. It operates at Level 5 (the rigour and complexity of the 2nd year of a Bachelor’s degree), thus candidates should expect to be examined through longer answer methods e.g. essays.
