DIPLOMA IN PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY- LEVEL 5
The Diploma in Packaging Technology (Level 5) is an internationally recognised qualification for those wishing to pursue a career in the packaging industry or for those who are already in the industry and who wish to extend their knowledge and expertise (see below). It has been offered by the AIP continuously since 1980 and has an exemplary record of successful students. It has now been revised and updated and is offered on-line. It is accredited by PIABC, the Packaging Industry Awarding Body Company, which is in turn accredited by OfQual (Office of Qualifications and Examinations). The Diploma is a Level 5 qualification that prepares students to take responsibility for packaging operations at any level through the supply chain.
The qualification is comprehensive, and provides an opportunity to study the principles of packaging, packaging materials and packaging processes. Whilst all units are designed to be “stand alones”, some items for example sustainability, quality and legislation appear as common themes across more than one unit. This should be recognised by tutors and links made in those cases where candidates are working across more than one unit.
Unit Certification : Unit certification is available to candidates who successfully complete full individual units , but do not wish to complete the full award.
