Is this the right qualification for your provider?
New provider suitability: Cautious unless the provider already has the relevant staff, facilities, and practical access. Established provider suitability: Stronger, especially where the provider already delivers in transport, logistics, or operational movement. Facility pressure: Facilities may include classrooms, simulation areas, dispatch or planning documents, safety controls, and access to transport or logistics environments. Equipment pressure: Equipment can include route, dispatch, warehouse, vehicle, safety, communication, or planning resources depending on the qualification. Staff pressure: Staff should understand the relevant transport, freight, warehouse, driver, supply-chain, or logistics environment. Workplace/practical pressure: Workplace exposure should show learners handling real procedures, timing, documentation, safety routines, and supervised operational tasks.
