Competency Standards: Learning That Builds Capability

Every program aligns with the Logistics Institute’s Competency Standards, built around the SKA Nexus:
- Skills – the ability to act effectively
- Knowledge – the understanding of what to do and how to do it
- Aptitude – the ability to do it all well
These standards position learning as competency and skill development - not theoretical study. You’ll learn not just what professionals know, but what professionals do.
