About the course
This level 3 apprenticeship has been developed by RHA in partnership with TRS to deliver the essential skills needed by logistics firms to facilitate growth and success.
The apprenticeship is designed to empower staff to lead and manage transport or warehouse operations for maximum productivity and provide knowledge on the specific legal obligations involved.
