These are the units The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK. It does the teaching and the mapping. The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in the UK sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.
