The Level 2 Qualification is for employees who work in roles such as a traffic clerk. They must show a sufficient level of competence to complete all 8 mandatory units to gain this award. The units include health and safety, the ability to work effectively with colleagues and the planning work.

An additional unit gives the employee the opportunity to demonstrate their competence in dealing with the specific tasks involved in the international movement of goods. The Level 3 Qualification is for employees who have roles like transport manager. This qualification builds upon the competencies required for the level 2 qualification.
