Testimonials

  • Scott Macpherson
    Level 3 - Import and Export Operations
    "I have been in the Oil & Gas Industry for the last 25 years and have had no formal qualifications so I considered it important to develop my skillset to enhance my career options. I would recommend the IoSCM courses to anyone who has a busy lifestyle and wants to have a good industry-recognised qualification at the end of the course."

ELCAS funding

If you’ve had a career in the Armed Forces, you will already have a wealth of valuable skills that employers are looking for in their candidates. However, to progress your career outside of the military, you will need to certify these skills with industry-recognised qualifications, and Enhanced Learning Credits can help you to do this.

To be eligible to receive ELC payments, you must have accrued at least six years of military service. You can earn up to three credits, the value of which will depend on the length of your service. Your credits will cover 80% of your course fees, with the remaining 20% being funded by yourself.

Institute of Supply Chain Management is an approved Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) provider and a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant.

Our ELC provider number is 9651.

Who's it for?

This level 3 qualification will provide you with the knowledge and skills to be able to, confidently, undertake a role within the import and export field, transportation of goods, working to meet the specifications of each customer, and be able to work to regulations and in an efficient manner.

Designed for students who would like to develop key skills and knowledge required to move into a supervisory management or team leader role and improve operational efficiency.

Delivery

You’ll gain access to a customised learning platform in which you can take mock tests, utilise a huge library of resources and interact with other students across the globe.

As well as unlimited first-class materials, there are self-assessments available online that show the results immediately to give you direction on what you’re doing well and what you might need to take another look at.

You can take and retake the practise self-tests as many times as you like. By doing this, we’re increasing your confidence in your ability to succeed and therefore, also ensuring you pass the first time.
