SQA Qualifications in Supply Chain

SVQs in The SVQs in are overseen by the Sector Skills Council, Skills for Logistics. They are intended for people working in the Supply Chain, and are relevant to both the public and private sector. There are SVQs in at SVQ Levels 2, 3, 4 and 5. Typical job roles for those working in the supply chain include: Global Supply Chain Director Director of Supply Chain Purchasing Manager Supply Chain Development Manager Supply Chain Manager Logistics and Warehouse Manager Warehouse and Transport Team Manager Strategic Supply Chain Manager Senior Procurement Manager Customers Logistics Manager Senior Procurement Manager Customers Logistics Manager Assistant Purchasing Manager Contract Manager Category Manager Material Manager Inventory Controller Commercial Manager Logistics Manager Imports Manager Logistics and Supply Analyst Material Planner Material Scheduler Senior Buyer Buyer Planner Expeditor Distribution Supervisor Logistics Assistant/Supervisor Distribution Supervisor Warehouse Supervisor Procurement and Contract Officer Demand Planner Warehouse Assistant Procurement Assistant Supplies Assistant Assistant Buyer Contracts Assistant Export Assistant

NPA in Supply Chain Operations SQA offers a National Progression Award (NPA) in Supply Chain Operations. National Progression Awards are pre-vocational qualifications. They are an excellent basis for progression to employment and/or a full SVQ. Candidates must complete both mandatory Units: How a supply chain works Customers and suppliers in a supply chain And a further two Units from the following: Flow of orders in the supply chain Distribution and storage of goods Transportation of goods Safety, security and sustainability in the supply chain Personal development: Self and Work Candidates One aim of the NPA in Supply Chain Operations is to develop employability skills. These will be of use in the future, regardless of what career the candidate eventually chooses. The qualification also develops candidates knowledge and understanding of the logistics sector, improving job opportunities for those who decide to seek a career in logistics. In particular, because it is based on the National Occupational Standards, it may provide a good basis for progression to apprenticeships.

Other uses of the NPA The individual Units of the qualification will be of benefit to those already working in the industry. For example, security employees may wish to undertake the Unit Safety, Security and Sustainability in the Supply Chain. Individual Units could also be used in driver training for the Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC). Although the legislation does not specify achievement of a qualification to comply with the Driver CPC, Skills for Logistics (the Sector Skills Council) reports that many companies, especially the larger ones who employ 80% of the logistics workforce, wish their drivers not merely to attend training, but also to achieve a worthwhile and relevant qualification. All the Units of the National Progression Award, with the exception of Personal Development: Self and Work would be relevant to driving work. HNC/HND Supply Chain Management SQA offers a Higher National Certificate (HNC) and a Higher National Diploma (HND) in. These are designed for candidates who want to progress their career into positions at an operational, team leader/supervisory or managerial level. The qualifications focus on knowledge, understanding and skills that are specific to supply chain. Practical skills (how the topics are applied in practice) are developed by using the candidate s own employment situation, wherever possible. In addition to the practical benefits, the qualifications should also prepare candidates for progression to further programmes of study, either in higher or professional education, or by means of occupational qualifications in the workplace. The NPA could be used with a number of groups. Some or all of the Units could be included in national programmes such as Get Ready for Work or Training for Work. Combined with development of employability skills and appropriate work experience, the NPA would provide underpinning knowledge to enhance work-readiness.
