Issue Date: March 2024


This unit covers the knowledge and skills required to complete courier delivery operations.

It includes clarifying and organising courier operations, planning pick-up and delivery routes, picking-up items to be delivered to customers on time and to correct addresses, completing transactions with customers and maintaining records of courier delivery operations.

This unit is designed for use in a Pathways qualification or skill set. It should not be used in a qualification that has a direct job outcome.

This unit is an integrating unit because it has applications within a Pathways Certificate I aimed at providing entry level skills and knowledge in the area of courier and delivery operations.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
