Purpose

This qualification equips learners with essential skills and knowledge to enhance customer service and support world-class operations in international logistics and supply chain management. Logistics is a significant part of the supply chain in South Africa and contributes to higher-than-average costs. These costs are largely due to inefficiencies and skill gaps. To remain globally competitive, South Africa must achieve just-in-time delivery through efficient, skilled supply chain management.

A qualified learner will be able to:

• Forward cargo within the local and international logistics environment.
• Observe compliance with statutory requirements within the local and international logistics environment.
• Conduct warehousing operations within the local and international logistics environment.
• Assist with distribution of cargo within the local and international logistics environment.
