This Trade Supplier Apprenticeship standard is perfect for new entrants to roles in which they will be working with systems and software.

Learners will be assigned a qualified tutor to provide them with help and support delivered by a blended learning approach combining on and off-the-job training to ensure they develop the skills required for their role. Learners with support from their Tutor, as needed, complete a range of online learning modules that develop their underpinning knowledge of a broad range of warehousing and logistics tasks and concepts.

The learning from these topics is holistically assessed through the completion of a range of formal assessment tasks which provide the apprentice the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and behaviours. To achieve this, learners must have at least 6 hours of protected study time each week.

In addition to developing the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to be a successful Trade Supplier, learners will, if 19 or over at the start of their apprenticeship, have the option of working towards Level 2 Functional Skills qualifications in English and maths. Functional Skills are mandatory for apprentices aged 16-18 (unless they have GCSE equivalents at grades 9 - 4/A* - C in these subjects).
