Where else you can go

Routes many people do not think of straight away. Every statement names source and date; what is missing reads “not documented yet”.

  • Warehouse clerk (Fachlagerist)

    You receive goods, store them, pick, pack and dispatch them. Goods checks, work equipment and organising these steps are part of the work.

    Why you fit

    The training profile names receiving, storage, picking, packing and dispatch. If you do this work in a warehouse, the qualification sits on those tasks.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Training covers at least goods checks, use of work equipment, receiving, storage, picking, packing and dispatch of goods.

    Your next step: Ask the chamber of industry and commerce about admission to the final exam and ask employers about a training place.

  • Warehouse logistics specialist

    You work on logistics processes from receiving through storage to picking, packing and dispatch. Quality measures and the use of work equipment are part of this.

    Why you fit

    The training profile stays with warehouse tasks and adds logistics processes. With a completed warehouse clerk apprenticeship, training can continue in the third year.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Training as a warehouse clerk can be continued for the third training year as a warehouse logistics specialist.

    Your next step: Ask the chamber whether a warehouse clerk qualification or your years of work are recognised, and look for a training employer for the year that is still open.

  • Certified master in logistics

    You plan, steer and monitor logistics processes and lead staff. Staffing, occupational safety, environmental and health protection and quality targets are part of this.

    Why you fit

    The exam shows specialist, organisational and leadership tasks in logistics areas. Practice with a substantial link to these tasks can carry admission.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    The first exam part is open after an apprenticeship in the field of logistics, another apprenticeship plus at least one year of practice, or at least four years of practice. The second part requires that the first is no more than five years old and that one further year of practice is added. The practice should have substantial links to the master-level tasks. Admission is also possible where comparable occupational competence is shown credibly.

  • Bachelor Professional in Logistics Systems

    You shape a cross-functional logistics business process, advise internal and external customers and develop logistics solutions. Leadership and organising vocational training are part of this.

    Why you fit

    The warehouse logistics specialist qualification is named as an entry route, together with at least one year of practice afterwards. Whether your current practice has the required link to the leadership tasks is checked by the competent body.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Admission is open to anyone who shows a final qualification as a freight forwarding and logistics services clerk, as an industrial clerk, in wholesale and foreign trade management, or as a shipping clerk. The warehouse logistics specialist qualification or another three-year commercial or administrative apprenticeship needs at least one year of practice afterwards. Another three-year apprenticeship needs at least two years of practice afterwards, a related degree with at least 90 credit points needs at least two years of practice, and practice alone at least five years. That practice must have substantial links to the tasks in section 1 (3). Admission is also open where comparable occupational competence is shown credibly.

  • Bachelor Professional in Transport Management and Logistics

    You lead organisational units in goods transport and logistics, plan service delivery and assess efficiency and quality. Contracts, prices and leading staff are part of this.

    Why you fit

    The exam covers tasks in goods transport and logistics, including steering and improving service delivery. Warehouse practice counts only if it has the required links to these tasks.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    A recognised commercial apprenticeship for goods transport and logistics opens the exam without an added year of practice. Another three-year commercial or administrative apprenticeship needs at least one year of practice afterwards. A related higher-education degree with at least 90 credit points needs at least two years of practice, and practice alone at least five years. That practice must have substantial links to the tasks in section 1 (3). Admission is also open where comparable occupational competence is shown credibly.

  • Freight forwarding and logistics services clerk

    You organise dispatch, transport and warehouse logistics and handle international forwarding services. Contracts, liability, insurance and commercial control are part of this.

    Why you fit

    Warehouse logistics is one module of the training profile, alongside dispatch and transport. Contracts and international forwarding are added and are often not yet your task on the warehouse floor.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Training covers warehouse logistics, dispatch, international forwarding, contracts, liability and commercial control. English for specialist tasks is included.

  • Professional goods driver

    You check, maintain and drive vehicles and prepare transport operations. Road safety, conduct after accidents and operational planning and logistics are part of this.

    Why you fit

    Operational planning and logistics is part of the training profile. Driving vehicles on public roads is added if you have worked in a warehouse so far.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    The initial qualification for trips in goods or passenger transport is also acquired by completing the apprenticeship as a professional driver, and likewise by qualifying as a specialist in driving operations.

    Your next step: Look for a training employer with vehicles and confirm with the chamber of industry and commerce that the qualification includes the initial qualification.

  • Goods driver with accelerated initial qualification

    You carry out trips in goods transport with vehicles that require a driving licence of class C, CE, C1 or C1E. For that you need the accelerated initial qualification and you must meet the age limit of the class.

    Why you fit

    The instruction is a route alongside the professional driver apprenticeship. A driving licence before the instruction starts is not required.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    The accelerated initial qualification is acquired through instruction at a recognised training body and a theory exam at the chamber of industry and commerce. It is acquired for specific driving licence classes.
