Apprenticeship Standards Express Delivery Operative (L2)
This new apprenticeship standard is designed as a minimum 12 month programme and is for apprentices who wish to gain the skills, knowledge and behavioural competences required to work, providing timed deliveries and collections to homes and businesses.
They will use world class equipment and software to provide timed deliveries and collections to homes and businesses and may cover roles such as postal workers, couriers and express delivery driver.
They will have a high level of individual responsibility for their working day and delivery route and may be on foot using trolleys or required to use a vehicle such as a pedal cycle, motorbike, van or lorry.
They provide a high level of customer service which may include real time tracking of deliveries or the installation of electrical and other goods.
They maintain excellent communication throughout the delivery chain from collection to delivery point and dealing correctly with failed deliveries and returns.
