AIMS OF THE COURSE
These qualifications enable participants to demonstrate their competence within the warehousing and storage industry with focus on their specific work activities. At Level 2, the course is suitable for those operators already active within the industry. At Level 1, the qualification is also available to those who do not currently work in the industry but wish to gain some of the range of skills needed.
COURSE CONTENT: The courses comprise numbers of topics, termed “Units”, to be selected from a broad range of industry activities. At both Levels, there are 2 mandatory Units. At Level 1, there is a requirement for a further 4 Units to be selected from a choice of 6 options. At Level 2, 6 more Units are to be chosen from 15 options. The choice of Units enables the qualification to be matched to each Candidate’s specific job function.
The Mandatory Units are:
- For both Levels: “Maintain health, safety and security in logistics operations”
- For Level 1: “Contribute to effective working relationships with colleagues in logistics operations”
- For Level 2: “Develop effective working relationships with colleagues in logistics operations”
The OPTIONAL UNITS at Level 1 cover manual handling, picking and wrapping, maintaining stock levels, equipment and the storage area. At level 2, they cover the full range of activities in the physical handling of products and the relevant documentation processes involved.
Candidates may do more than the minimum number of units to complete the full award or take additional units from other awards. All units completed will be shown on the Certificate.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: There are no formal entry requirements. Employees must, however, have a warehousing and storage background or be working in a temporary or permanent role within that environment.
COURSE ASSESSMENT: Competence is assessed against Company and National Standards from evidence, devised to fit Company requirements, obtained within the workplace. Candidates are given appropriate credit for prior learning and/or experience to aid their progress to their award. It is essentially a work-based qualification.
