The Diploma of Logistics prepares students with practical skills in transport, warehousing, inventory and supply chain processes. It suits school leavers and early-career workers aiming for operational roles in freight, warehousing and logistics coordination.
Units typically cover the principles and practices that underpin logistics activities, including transportation operations, warehousing and storage, inventory control, order fulfilment, workplace health and safety, and relevant regulatory and documentation requirements. Learning blends applied theory with simulated and real-world tasks to develop operational skills.
Entry commonly requires completion of secondary schooling or an equivalent credential, though RMIT may also recognise prior work experience or vocational qualifications. Applicants should check RMIT admissions guidance for any language, literacy or numeracy requirements and for pathways from certificates or traineeships.
Graduates are prepared for operational and supervisory roles such as storeperson/warehouse operator, freight handler, logistics coordinator, dispatch officer or customs documentation support. The diploma provides a pathway into higher-level vocational study or entry-level positions within transport, third-party logistics and distribution centres.
While scholarships specifically for this diploma may be limited, students can explore institutional bursaries, industry apprenticeships/traineeships, government-subsidised training programs and employer-funded training. Investigate RMIT student support services and external workforce development grants that target vocational education in logistics and transport.
