The learner must also be able to show that he/she can satisfactorily present the research undertaken.
5. The learner must effectively communicate, in an oral and/or written manner, including the usage of visual/graphic aids, with role players in the field of logistics by applying relevant theoretical principles of communication and reflecting on the application made.
6. The learner must demonstrate an ability to operate necessary management technology, in particular specified computer hardware and software including Internet and databases. The learner must use a computer as well as logistics-related databases.

The learner must identify various roles that a more effective and efficient logistics profession will have in the economy and the impact that this will in turn have.
10. The learner must demonstrate a positive approach towards various different communities and a sensitivity for the social, economic and cultural differences within these communities, by identifying distribution needs of different communities, taking in consideration their various social, economic and cultural differences and therefore their differing needs and requirements with respect to logistics.

12. The learner must display an ability to effectively and responsibly organise and coordinate resources and opportunities, in a prospective logistics job, by applying relevant theoretical aspects and reflecting on the application made, particularly with respect to their own activities. Finally, the learner must demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the financial implications of all organising and coordinating activities undertaken.
Formative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Learners are continuously assessed by means of class assignments, essays, presentations, informal class tests and formal modular tests, in written or oral mode. The learner may also be required to do practical work (independent and in a group during study visits) which is evaluated by assessors. In addition, the learner must also assess himself/herself as well as the work of classmates, and reflect on the dynamics of this process.
Summative assessment practices that will be implemented:
Integrated assessment, focusing on the achievement of the exit-level outcomes, will be done by means of a 3 hour examination per module undertaken for the qualification, towards the end of that module.
