How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Gateway Qualifications Limited has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and Gateway Qualifications Limited awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Gateway Qualifications Limited.
The Gateway Qualifications Level 1 Award in Skills for Logistics is for individuals seeking an introduction to the warehousing and distribution sector. Learners will develop skills in areas such as working safely in logistics, stock control, and security. Environmental awareness and sustainability in the workplace are also covered.
These are the units Gateway Qualifications Limited 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 Gateway Qualifications Limited. It does the teaching and the mapping. Gateway Qualifications Limited sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them

How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

For “Route Planning” you bring the plan you are actually working on, not a case study. Zavmo pulls on the assumptions in it until the weak one shows.
