Frequently asked questions
Read the main details about fees, study, assessment and progression.
Are both qualifications in logistics?
No. The verified Level 4 qualification is in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, while the verified Level 5 qualification is in Business Management.
Is CIPS membership included?
RSG does not currently state that CIPS membership is included. Professional memberships and certifications must be confirmed for the exact course and current provider terms.
Does the course guarantee a supply-chain role?
No. It develops relevant knowledge, but employers make their own decisions based on skills, experience and role requirements.
What happens if I cancel, withdraw or request a refund?
Online Business School's current cancellation, withdrawal and refund terms apply. Ready Study Global does not set or administer the provider's refund decisions. Ask us for the current OBS terms before enrolment or payment.
Why does the Level 5 stage use Business Management rather than Logistics?
The current evidence identifies a specialist OTHM Level 4 Logistics and Supply Chain Management diploma followed by the OTHM Level 5 Diploma in Business Management. The package therefore broadens at Level 5.
