Campus Information Work-Based Learning
The Pearson Edexcel Level 2 Certificate in Warehousing and Storage aims to
provide a suitable qualification that enables individuals to demonstrate their
competence and understanding against a set of units based on the needs of
the industry.
The qualification has been designed to support those involved
with distributive operations such as dealing with the handling and storing of
goods within a commercial, industrial or remover’s warehouse, or freight
facility.
As well as guided learning, there may be other required learning that is
directed by tutors or assessors. This includes, for example, private study,
preparation for assessment and undertaking assessment when not under
supervision, such as preparatory reading, revision and independent
research.
These qualifications are for all learners aged 16 and above who are capable
of reaching the required standards.
These qualifications require individuals to demonstrate competence against
National Occupational Standards (NOS) which are based on the needs of the
warehousing and storage industry as defined by Skills for Logistics, the
Sector Skills Council. As such they contribute to the development of skilled
labour in the sector.
The Pearson Edexcel Level 2 Certificate in Warehousing and Storage will
contribute towards the Warehousing and Storage Apprenticeship
Framework.
The overall grade for these qualifications is a ‘pass’. Learners must achieve
all the required units within the specified qualification structure.
To pass a unit the learner must:
- achieve all the specified learning outcomes.
- satisfy all the assessment criteria by providing sufficient and valid
evidence for each criterion. - show that the evidence is their own.
These qualifications are designed to be assessed:
- in the workplace, or
- in conditions resembling the workplace, as specified in the Skills for
Logistics assessment guidance for qualifications in the, or - as part of a training programme.
Evidence of competence may come from: - current practice where evidence is generated from a current job role
- a programme of development where evidence comes from
assessment opportunities built into a learning/training programme
whether at or away from the workplace - the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), where a learner can
demonstrate that they can meet the assessment criteria within a unit
through knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess without
undertaking a course of learning. They must submit sufficient, reliable
and valid evidence for internal and standards verification purposes. RPL
is acceptable for accrediting a unit, several units or a whole qualification - a combination of these.
