However, they are shorter (120 credits) and learners willhave to proceed to the dissertation stage (60 credits) with university to achieve a full mastersprogramme.SPECIFICATION MAY 2020WWW.OTHM.ORG.UKPAGE 3 OF 26
OTHM LEVEL 7 DIPLOMA IN LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIFICATIONQUALIFICATION STRUCTUREThe OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management consists of 6mandatory units for a combined total of 120 credits, 1200 hours Total Qualification Time(TQT) and 600 Guided Learning Hours (GLH) for the completed qualification.Unit Ref. 235T/508/0626Unit titleLogistics ManagementSupply Chain Planning, Modelling and AnalyticsProcurement and Supply ManagementSupply Chain and Operations StrategySustainable Operations ManagementBusiness Research 00200200200200200DEFINITIONSTotal Qualification Time (TQT) is the number of notional hours which represents anestimate of the total amount of time that could reasonably be expected to be required inorder for a Learner to achieve and demonstrate the achievement of the level of attainmentnecessary for the award of a qualification.Total Qualification Time is comprised of the following two elements –a) the number of hours which an awarding organisation has assigned to a qualificationfor Guided Learning, andb) an estimate of the number of hours a Learner will reasonably be likely to spend inpreparation, study or any other form of participation in education or training, includingassessment, which takes place as directed by – but, unlike Guided Learning, notunder the Immediate Guidance or Supervision of – a lecturer, supervisor, tutor orother appropriate provider of education or training.(Ofqual 15/5775 September 2015)Guided Learning Hours (GLH) is defined as the hours that a teacher, lecturer or othermember of staff is available to provide immediate teaching support or supervision to astudent working towards a qualification.Credit value is defined as being the number of credits that may be awarded to a Learner forthe successful achievement of the learning outcomes of a unit. One credit is equal to 10hours of TQT.ENTRY REQUIREMENTSFor entry onto the Logistics and Supply Chain Management qualification learners mustpossess: An honours degree in related subject or UK level 6 diploma or an equivalentoverseas qualification Mature learners with management experience (learners must check with thedelivery centre regarding this experience prior to registering for the programme) Learners must be 21 years old or older at the beginning of the courseEnglish requirements: If a learner is not from a majority English-speaking country mustprovide evidence of English language competency.

OTHM LEVEL 7 DIPLOMA IN LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIFICATIONPROGRESSIONSAchieving the OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Managementqualification enables learners to progress into or within employment and/or continue theirfurther study. As this qualification is approved and regulated by Ofqual (Office of theQualifications and Examinations Regulation), learners are eligible to progress to Master’stop-up programmes at many universities in the UK and overseas with advanced standing.For more information visit University Progressions page.DELIVERY OF OTHM QUALIFICATIONSOTHM do not specify the mode of delivery for its qualifications, therefore OTHM Centres arefree to deliver this qualification using any mode of delivery that meets the needs of theirLearners. However, OTHM Centres should consider the Learners’ complete learningexperience when designing the delivery of programmes.OTHM Centres must ensure that the chosen mode of delivery does not unlawfully or unfairlydiscriminate, whether directly or indirectly, and that equality of opportunity is promoted.Where it is reasonable and practicable to do so, it will take steps to address identifiedinequalities or barriers that may arise.Guided Learning Hours (GLH) which are listed in each unit gives the Centres the number ofhours of teacher-supervised or direct study time likely to be required to teach that unit.ASSESSMENT AND VERIFICATIONThe units in this qualification are internally assessed by the centre and externally verified byOTHM. The qualifications are criterion referenced, based on the achievement of all thespecified learning outcomes.To achieve a ‘pass’ for a unit, learners must provide evidence to demonstrate that they havefulfilled all the learning outcomes and meet the standards specified by all assessmentcriteria. Judgement that the learners have successfully fulfilled the assessment criteria ismade by the Assessor.The Assessor should provide an audit trail showing how the judgement of the learners’overall achievement has been arrived at.Specific assessment guidance and relevant marking criteria for each unit are made availablein the Assignment Brief document. These are made available to centres immediately afterregistration of one or more learners.OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNERS TO PASSCentres are responsible for managing learners who have not achieved a Pass for thequalification having completed the assessment. However, OTHM expects at a minimum thatcentres must have in place a clear feedback mechanism to learners by which they caneffectively retrain the learner in all the areas required before re-assessing the learner.SPECIFICATION MAY 2020WWW.OTHM.ORG.UKPAGE 5 OF 26
OTHM LEVEL 7 DIPLOMA IN LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SPECIFICATIONRECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENTRecognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a method of assessment that considers whetherlearners can demonstrate that they can meet the assessment requirements for a unitthrough knowledge, understanding or skills they already possess and do not need todevelop through a course of learning.RPL policies and procedures have been developed over time, which has led to the use of anumber of terms to describe the process. Among the most common are: Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) Accreditation of Prior Achievement (APA) Accreditation of Prior Learning and Achievement (APLA).All evidence must be evaluated with reference to the stipulated learning outcomes andassessment criteria against the respective unit(s). The assessor must be satisfied that theevidence produced by the learner meets the assessment standard established by thelearning outcome and its related assessment criteria at that particular level.Most often RPL will be used for units. It is not acceptable to claim for an entire qualificationthrough RPL. Where evidence is assessed to be only sufficient to cover one or morelearning outcomes, or to partly meet the need of a learning outcome, then additionalassessment methods should be used to generate sufficient evidence to be able to award thelearning outcome(s) for the whole unit. This may include a combination of units whereapplicable.EQUALITY AND DIVERSITYOTHM provides equality and diversity training to staff and consultants. This makes clear thatstaff and consultants must comply with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010, and allother related equality and diversity legislation, in relation to our qualifications.We develop and revise our qualifications to avoid, where possible, any feature that mightdisadvantage learners because of their age, disability, gender, pregnancy or maternity, race,religion or belief, and sexual orientation.If a specific qualification requires a feature that might disadvantage a particular group (e.g. alegal requirement regarding health and safety in the workplace), we will clarify this explicitlyin the qualification specification.SPECIFICATION MAY 2020WWW.OTHM.ORG.UKPAGE 6 OF 26
