Programme Description

The Traffic Operator programme is designed to equip learners with the skills and knowledge required to manage the efficient and safe movement of goods across industries. This programme is ideal for individuals starting their career in transport and logistics sector or seeking to advance their existing expertise in this fast-paced environment.

Throughout the programme, learners will develop a strong foundation in key areas such as route planning, regulations and compliance, vehicle maintenance, and customer service. They will also grow their teamwork and communication skills, applying their learning to real-world scenarios. The outcomes of their development will be measured through their End Point Assessment (EPA), which includes both practical assessments and evidence-based interviews.

This programme builds learners' confidence in managing operational tasks, solving challenges, and supporting business success through efficient logistics practices. The skills gained are highly transferable, enabling learners to thrive in a range of roles within the transport and logistics sector.

We offer flexible delivery options for this programme with rolling start dates so you can enrol and learn at a time that works best for you.

  • Hybrid
  • Face-to-face
  • Remote learning

The programme can be delivered one-to-one, or if an employer has multiple learners, we can provide a closed cohort approach with monthly or quarterly groups, while still offering individual support.

Learners will meet with their tutor once a month for the knowledge-based part of the programme. Between sessions, assignments will be set and completed through our online platform, Smart Assessor. Every 12 weeks a progress review will take place, which line managers should attend, to discuss progress on programme.

Learners must be able to commit to the programme, have the support of your employer and your job role must align with programme requirements to demonstrate the competencies needed to pass the End Point Assessment.

Employers enrolling learners can set their own entry criteria but to be eligible for funding learners must:

  • Have been a UK resident for 3+ years or be part of an EU Settlement Scheme, spending at least 50% of time working in England.
  • Hold a contract of employment.
  • Not be enrolled in another government funded programme.

After the learning phase is completed, the learner, employer, and Intec will meet to determine if you are ready to proceed to the End Point Assessment (EPA). The EPA, conducted by an external End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO), will evaluate whether you have demonstrated the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviours to meet the required standards. Learners can achieve a Pass or Distinction based on their performance.

The EPA has three parts:

  Duration Details Weighting
Interview with Evidence 1 hour A structured interview for the learner to demonstrate the knowledge, skills and behaviours mapped to this assessment. Learners can use evidence from their portfolio of evidence. 50%
Practical Assessment with Questions 1 hour An independent assessor will observe the learner completing a task or series of them set by the EPAO. The assessment environment must closely relate to their job role. 50%

Progression: Depending on your job role, learners may want to consider progressing onto the Associate Project Management, Team Leader, Warehouse Operations Supervisor or Improvement Technician programme.
