You'll have an initial assessment to make sure this is the right level for you, and the centre will use it to plan your learning.

Who this course is for

This qualification has been designed for people working or wishing to work in a warehousing and storage facility within the logistics sector. It enables learners to demonstrate their competence and understanding against a set of units based on the needs of the industry. The qualification has been designed to support those involved with distributive operations such as dealing with the handling and storing of goods within a commercial, industrial or remover’s warehouse, or freight facility.

What you will learn

  • You'll learn how goods are received, handled, and stored in a warehouse or freight facility.
  • You'll understand the principles of stock control and inventory management.
  • You'll learn how to work safely, including health and safety responsibilities in a warehouse environment.
  • You'll understand how to move and store goods correctly to prevent damage or loss.
  • You'll learn about the roles and operations involved in distributive and logistics work.
  • You'll develop an understanding of customer requirements and how warehouse operations support them.

How you will learn

Classes are delivered in a classroom setting on a part-time daytime basis over 13 days. You'll be assessed through a combination of knowledge-based tasks and practical activities that demonstrate your understanding of warehousing and storage operations. Assessment is based on units covering the core skills and knowledge required by the industry.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Triage Sunderland will confirm anything else you need before you start.

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Warehouse operative: picking, packing, and dispatching goods
  • Stock room assistant: managing inventory in retail or wholesale
  • Goods-in operative: receiving and checking incoming deliveries
  • Stores assistant: maintaining stock in industrial or commercial settings
  • Distribution centre operative: supporting logistics and fulfilment operations
  • Freight handler: moving and organising goods in freight facilities

What you could study next

A Level 1 warehousing and storage certificate is a solid starting point.
