What this qualification is
The Level 5 + Level 6 + Level 7 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is awarded by an Ofqual-regulated UK awarding organisation and regulated by Ofqual at RQF Level 5. The qualification totals 360 credits across structured mandatory units. Listed on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. LEAP Education delivers this programme 100% online with tutor support.
Standard completion is 18 months; accelerated completion in 15 months is offered on this programme where shown below. Fees from £2,100. Assessment is through coursework and assignments — there is no requirement to attend a UK campus.
Designed for working professionals in the UK and overseas who need a regulated qualification recognised by employers. Progress to the next RQF level or a university top-up degree where eligible.
Supply chain disruption has permanently replaced efficiency as the primary metric for executive performance, forcing boards to replace operational managers with leaders who can guarantee continuity under pressure. The old model of simply tracking shipments is obsolete; the market now demands professionals who can redesign networks for resilience and negotiate risk mitigation in real-time.
Graduates move from reactive problem-solving to proactive strategic control, gaining the authority to restructure global procurement networks and lead cross-functional teams through crisis scenarios. You will be equipped to present capital allocation plans for warehouse automation, manage end-to-end vendor relationships with multinational suppliers, and secure promotion to Head of Supply Chain or Director of Operations by demonstrating measurable cost savings and risk reduction.
This credential targets logistics coordinators, procurement specialists, and warehouse managers in markets like Nigeria, Kenya, the UAE, and Southeast Asia who possess strong operational experience but lack the formal qualification required for senior leadership roles. It is built for professionals with four to seven years of experience who are currently blocked from executive tracks because their current titles do not signal strategic capability to international hiring managers. If you are ready to stop managing daily exceptions and start designing the supply chain architecture that drives corporate profit, this qualification provides the recognized evidence of your strategic competence.
