Transport and Logistics
This section summarises the occupations that have been added and removed from the Transport and Logistics occupational maps as a result of the consultation, and responds to additional comments that were submitted.
Breakdown of respondents
Summary of responses
The following occupations were proposed for inclusion; however, the Institute and route panel analysis concluded that there is insufficient evidence at this time for these to be considered as occupations for the development of apprenticeship standards:
- Taxi and Private Hire
- Flight Captain
- Airport Duty Operations Manager
The route panel identified two pairs of occupations awaiting development that are likely to have very similar knowledge skills and behaviours and recommended the removal of:
- Logistical Operations Transport Supervisor
- Logistics Operations Warehousing Supervisor
Further comments
Respondents suggested that Express Delivery Operative be moved from the Logistics to the Transport pathway, as the knowledge skills and behaviour were a better fit. The panel agreed and moved Express Delivery Manager (Level 6) for the same reason.
Respondents provided rationale for and against the route being considered for T Levels. Some highlighted that several of the occupations had pre entry requirements such as the need for a driving license. Others highlighted a concern that restricting these technical occupations could result in low skilled employees.
