The CILT(UK) Level 3 Award in Global Logistics provides knowledge and understanding of current trade patterns and the structure and operation of global and multi-national trade, business and supply chains. It includes economic, environmental, cultural, political, and ethical issues and moves on to address how global trade is regulated, constrained, controlled and monitored across all major modes of transport.

The course includes one mandatory unit, of 80 guided learning hours.

The unit considers the options available for international businesses wishing to minimise any negative factors, including those associated with the environment and conducting global business. The unit examines physical and human resource issues related to extended supply chain operation and control, including the quality assurance and development of technical and quality standards.

Successful learners can progress onto completion of a full Certificate qualification at Level 3, or progress onto the CILT (UK) 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 designed for team leaders, new supervisors or aspiring managers and is also recommended for anyone making a career change. This is an open access qualification.

The successful completion of this course could be the start of a professional career in logistics management, specialising in global operations or those with a focus on sustainability and the environment.

Successful learners can progress onto completion of a full Certificate qualification at Level 3, or progress onto the CILT (UK) Level 5 Professional Diploma in Logistics and Transport.
