LLA – A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHO WE ARE & HOW WE DO IT
HELPING YOUR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT IS OUR DRIVER
As one of the UK's leading – and award-winning - specialist logistics and supply
chain training companies, our aim is to ensure our learners succeed.
We have a professional yet friendly and helpful approach
We design our courses to build on existing knowledge and experience
We use fully trained and experienced Tutors with practical, operational
backgrounds
We make training relevant to the real world
We understand the problems of trying to study when working full time
LEARNER-DRIVEN ONLINE LEARNING
Our online learning process allows you to choose where and when you wish to study at the time and place to suit
you. Each course or unit is designed to be completed part-time over a number of weeks, but flexibility is built-in
allowing you to control the pace at which you complete the programme. Based on experiential learning it allows
you to build on your existing knowledge to develop new skills.
The Student can work into their study times periods of holiday, increased work load or other times when study
may need to take a ‘back seat’ and catch up with work in their own time. You are not bound to a traditional
academic calendar – we work around you and your life.
STUDENT SUPPORT
If a Student has an issue, query or concern with the
course that is not strictly training-based, they can contact
Student Support. Student Support is available Monday-
Friday 8.00-17.00 and our dedicated staff are always
available to help during these hours.
TUTOR SUPPORT
The Tutors at LLA have a wide breadth of knowledge and experience in all fields of
management in the logistics and supply chain environment. Their knowledge is not
simply learned from books and exams; it is from years of hands-on experience,
underpinned by their own in depth training of current best-practice solutions for all
aspects of the logistics and supply chain.
If at any time you feel you need help or advice either on the course content or the
questions being asked, please let us know. Strong Tutoring support is built into all

Logistics Learning Alliance learning programmes and Students are encouraged to contact their Tutor whenever
they need advice and guidance. Tutors are available by telephone or by email during normal business hours
(0900 to 1700 UK time), or outside this time by prior arrangement with the Tutor. You can contact your tutor by
telephone at 44 (0) 1530 276592, Skype or by email through Student Support.
THE LEARNING PROCESS
The learning process incorporates our case study SCILworld. The case study is a broad but intensive exploration
of a fictitious company: SCIL plc. It is a simulated but highly realistic scenario, that allows you to explore concepts
and ideas in a risk-free environment.
For the purposes of the study programme, learners are ‘recruited’ by SCIL plc and appointed to a position relating
to their choice of qualification or skills building course. They will perform the tasks required of that role that
demonstrate the necessary competence. This is learning by challenging and doing.
The new ‘employee’ will receive access to our online
case study and learning materials, which will contain:
A virtual introductory tour of SCIL plc
Access to detailed statistical and
information about SCIL, Air-Flo & Bi-Flo
product
Access to the Centre of Excellence which will
provide all relevant technical information smd
learning materials enabling the learner to
submit work to the required standard
Access to details of all relevant legislation
which may have an impact on the business
THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Work-based projects and assignments based on the case-study simulation have been created to enable Students
to demonstrate their ability to apply the knowledge gained.
The assigned, specialist Tutor is also the Student’s Assessor, who will work with the Student to provide the
evidence to satisfy:
All of the performance criteria
All aspects of the qualification
All of the knowledge requirements of the chosen learning programme

COMPETENCY
In each unit, Students will be issued a series of tasks designed to enable them to demonstrate their
competence in the relevant subject area. Using the simulation scenario, the line manager will set
tasks designed to enable the Student to demonstrate their underlying knowledge and
understanding.
Students will show and justify how, based on their own experience, knowledge given through the
Centre of Excellence and understanding, they would respond to the challenge set. The method is
enjoyable, practical and a genuine fast-track route to an internationally recognised qualification, or
to build upon and create new skills, and challenging current practices.
SUMMARY
One of the difficulties many Students have at the
start of their learning programmes is making the
adjustment to a system where competence is
assessed rather than knowledge being examined.
For competence assessment, the Tutor is trying to
find out not just how much the Student knows, but
if the knowledge is sufficiently understood for it to
be applied in real life. Your Tutor will use a
combination of directive and supportive behaviour
to guide you through this process.
We very much hope that you will enjoy studying with LLA and always welcome feedback on ways
that we can improve our standards of service. If at any time during your programme, you do not feel
you are getting the support that you need, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
