Level 2 Credits 45
This qualification recognises that the holder has awareness of courier industry processes and safety needs, and has the knowledge and skills to pick up and deliver general and dangerous goods consignments safely and competently as a courier operator.
For the purposes of this qualification, courier delivery entails use of a motor vehicle – usually a light motor vehicle (car, van, light truck), but for urgent courier delivery this may involve use of a motorcycle.
This qualification has been designed for both the owner driver (or owner rider for motorcycles) and employees.
The term
urgent, in relation to courier operations, has the same meaning as alternative terms
point to point and
time critical.
Non-urgent has the same meaning as alternative terms
fleet,
hub and
spoke, and
same-day. The differences in mode of operation between urgent and non-urgent delivery are recognised as two strands. Many couriers prefer to operate for extended periods of their career in only one of these two modes.
People completing this qualification may wish to progress in terms of business knowledge and skills to a business related qualification including, but not limited to, the
National Certificate in Business - Small Business Management.
