Entry Requirements

This qualification is a one year step up degree for participants holding the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Diploma; Logistics Associate Apprenticeship (LAA); or IIPMM (Procurement and Supply Chain Management); Higher Certificate, Graduateship or degree in Supply Chain Management, or an equivalent Level 6 or Level 7 qualification in a relevant discipline.

Equivalent recognition may be given through the recognition of prior learning (RPL) process on an individual case-by-case basis to candidates who have not achieved this academic standard but who can demonstrate significant relevant professional experience in the discipline of Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

What is RPL?

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is when formal recognition is given for what you already know prior to starting on a programme or module. With recognition of prior learning the focus is on learning and not on experience as such. You can apply for RPL in any MTU accredited programme or module. Programmes which are accredited by professional bodies or any external awarding bodies may have their own procedures for RPL which you should refer to.
