The apprenticeship is suited for practical people who are interested in developing environmentally friendly transportation strategies. Learn how to safely deposit raw materials. Work with the latest logistics technology such as autonomous trucks. Gain an understanding of the processes that could help lower fuel pollution.   

Scotland’s freight logistics industry is an essential part of other sectors such as manufacturing, food and drink, chemicals, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and more. There are a range of jobs to choose from. Become a van driver and transport medical supplies to a pharmacist. Work as a logistics operative and ensure products go to the right place.

How does it work?

You’ll learn in a real-world environment and earn a wage. You’ll also study with a college or another learning provider. 

How long will it take?

This Modern Apprenticeship will take 12 to 24 months to complete.
