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 OTHM Qualifications has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and OTHM Qualifications awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from OTHM Qualifications.
The OTHM Level 5 Extended Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management provides learners with a comprehensive understanding of key aspects within the logistics and supply chain sector, combining theoretical and practical knowledge essential for effective professional performance.
These are the units OTHM Qualifications 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 OTHM Qualifications. It does the teaching and the mapping. OTHM Qualifications sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

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.
The Practical Builder · your make-it-real tutor Illustration - Draft the real one Create
You do “Contract and Financial Management” on a real document of your own. Zavmo works on the draft you have to send anyway, so the coursework and the job are the same piece of work.
- Map a live decision Analyse
“Academic Writing and Research Skills” runs on a decision you are facing now. Zavmo maps it with you and shows what the second-order effect looks like before you find out the slow way.
- Lead it Apply
“Contemporary Issues in Supply Chain Management” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.
