Successful learners can progress onto completion of a full Certificate qualification at Level 3 by completing two additional units - Business Theory and Business Application - or progress onto the CILT Level 5 Professional Diploma in Logistics and Transport.

Many people do not understand the way qualifications are structured – the levels are fairly obvious in that the higher the level the higher the level of study. However, it is often overlooked that there are different sizes of qualifications at the same levels.

Award-sized qualifications are short programmes – often achievable in a few weeks – they are still however full qualifications, recognised by the Government and employers alike and are therefore a great way to kick start new learning for new opportunities. Much less daunting than committing to months of study and exams.

Our Awards are awarded by reputable awarding organisations, internationally recognised and they are focussed on specific key areas. This means that they are not only a great way of easing yourself into learning – perhaps if you are already in the logistics, transport or facilities industries, or for other staff for familiarisation, such as those working in these industries in administration, HR, IT, finance or marketing perhaps.

They are also great add-ons to existing qualifications or study to expand understanding.

The CILT(UK) Level 3 Award is aimed at potential supervisors and aspiring mangers and is also suitable for anyone making a career change.
