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 SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards.
This Level 3 Diploma in Introduction to Supply Chain Management (IoSCM) gives learners an understanding of supply chain operations. It covers procurement management, processes, and practical application, alongside supply chain and warehousing operations. This qualification is relevant to the warehousing and distribution sector.
These are the units SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards 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 SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards. It does the teaching and the mapping. SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards 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 Coach · your practice partner Illustration - Pitch it Evaluate
“Introduction to Marketing” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
- Bring your own plan Create
For “Introduction to Production Planning and Control Management” 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.
- Lead it Apply
“Introduction to Improving Team Performance” 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.
How you would learn this
One to one, on the work you already do
