Level 5 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Level 5 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at HICL

Supply chain became headline news during the pandemic and then quietly carried on being indispensable. The Level 5 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is for people who want to work inside that field with real understanding - across procurement, planning, warehousing, transport and the data flows that hold them together.

This is a mid-to-upper level qualification. It works well as a step up from operational roles into management, and as preparation before a Bachelor's degree or a professional body study route.

End-to-end thinking, not silo thinking

The single hardest skill in logistics is seeing the whole chain rather than your stretch of it. The Level 5 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management spends time deliberately moving across upstream sourcing, demand planning, inventory policy, warehousing operations, transport modes and last-mile delivery, asking how a decision in one area ripples through the others. Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) gets proper attention because it's where these worlds finally meet.

Who This Diploma Is For

• Warehouse and transport supervisors ready for a planning or management track.
• Buyers and procurement officers wanting a broader supply chain view.
• Operations staff in retail and manufacturing moving towards supply chain roles.
• International students targeting careers with global logistics employers.

Where graduates head

Graduates of the Level 5 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management typically take on roles such as Logistics Coordinator, Supply Planner, Procurement Officer, Warehouse Manager, Transport Planner and Inventory Analyst. Progression to senior planner and manager roles is realistic with experience.
