Carry and Deliver Apprenticeship

The Carry and Deliver Apprenticeship is designed for people who are involved in the transport and delivery of goods by light vehicle, van, motor cycle or pedal cycle. It provides the knowledge, understanding and skills learners need to become delivery drivers.

It allows Learners to focus on their development within their job role such as establishing effective working relationships, maintaining the safety and security of themselves, load and vehicle as well as developing skills and techniques in relation to personal qualities and attitudes which are essential for successful performance in working life.

The Carry and Deliver Apprenticeship is built up of 3 elements. Your Learning Assessor will work with you to complete the 3 elements within a 12month period.
