Description

This course combines three full programmes: Import/Export, Logistics Management, and Supply Chain Management. Together, they give learners the full picture of how goods are sourced, moved, stored, and delivered globally.

Course 01: Import/Export Course: This course introduces the step-by-step process of starting and managing an Import/Export business. Learners will cover how to choose suitable products for international trade, identify target markets, and build customer relationships. Modules also explain how to organise trade operations legally, manage key documentation such as invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, and arrange shipping and payment. Learners will also study digital tools that help in tracking orders and coordinating with freight services. The course prepares students to handle real-world trading scenarios, whether they work in trade departments or operate their own Import/Export businesses.

Course 02: Logistics Management Course: The Logistics Management course focuses on the planning and execution of moving goods. Learners will understand warehouse organisation, transport coordination, procurement strategies, inventory systems, and cost control. Each module examines how logistics teams operate within businesses to make sure the right product reaches the right place at the right time. Lessons also cover customer service in logistics and how delays, stockouts, or transport issues affect business performance. By completing this course, learners gain skills required for operational roles across shipping companies, distribution centres, and third-party logistics providers.

Course 03: Supply Chain Management Course: This final course provides a strategic look at how entire networks of suppliers, logistics providers, and customers are managed together. Supply Chain Management is more than moving goods—it includes planning demand, designing systems, monitoring performance, and responding to changing market conditions. Learners will study supplier relationships, inventory strategies, warehouse operations, and how to align the Supply Chain Management process with business goals. This prepares students for leadership or planning roles where coordination and performance monitoring are essential.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
