Record of Achievement
for
Personal Learning and Thinking Skills
Logistics Operations Level 3
Candidate Name: _________________
September 2010 Version 2
Introduction
All apprenticeship frameworks must specify the outcomes which an apprentice is to achieve in the
six Personal Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) listed below and how they are evidenced.
Achievement of PLTS must be based on evidence that is subject to quality assurance. This Record
of Achievement is based on quality assured evidence within the Logistics Operations Qualification.
The six PLTS and their outcomes include:






Independent enquiry
Creative thinking
Reflective learning
Team working
Self management
Effective participation
PLTS must be formally assessed. However, Skills for Logistics considers assessment of units
within the Logistics Operations Qualification provides relevant evidence for the achievement of
PLTS. To this end, examples of where and how this evidence occurs and can be assessed, is
provided within this document. However, assessors may decide to use alternative evidence, which
is perfectly acceptable and should be recorded within this Record of Achievement. Skills for
Logistics does not require PLTS to be accredited.
Although PLTS are referenced and mapped to QCF units within the Logistics Operations
Qualification, assessors should be flexible in their interpretation to avoid discrimination against
those with a learning difficulty. For example care should be taken to ensure that interpretation of
references to ‘speaking and listening’ are inclusive, as far as possible, of those with speech and
hearing difficulties.
PLTS should be assessed alongside the candidate’s assessment for the Logistics Operations
Qualification and once achieve should be recorded on the following record sheets. There is a
signoff sheet at the back of this document which should then be submitted to Skills for Logistics
when a claim is made for the Apprenticeship Certificate

progress towards the achievement of the apprenticeship.
They should be encouraged to identify opportunities to
develop their skills and knowledge in Logistics
Operations and discuss with their supervisor/assessor
when they feel they have made progress in this area.
They may also be invited to assess how their peers are
progressing towards certain tasks.

This will be covered by the development of the individual
