How long is the Supply Chain Management course?

It's made up of 6 microlessons, each under 5 minutes. Learners can finish it in one sitting or spread it over a few days, and 5Mins sends reminders until it is done.

Is there a certificate?

Yes. Learners get a certificate of completion once they finish every microlesson and complete the two situational tests. The record is stored in 5Mins for audits.

Which supply chain models does the course cover?

Lean, agile, hybrid and demand-driven supply chains, with the trade-offs between inventory cost and resilience to disruption.

Does the course cover ethical sourcing?

Yes. The last microlesson covers sustainability and ethical sourcing, including the Modern Slavery Act 2015, the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and supplier codes of conduct and audits.

Who should take this course?

Procurement, supply chain, operations and logistics teams, plus managers and sustainability teams who oversee suppliers.

How often should staff take this training?

There is no legal requirement. Many organizations include it in onboarding for supply chain roles and refresh it every year. In 5Mins you can set the course to repeat, for example every 12 months.

Can I try the course first?

Yes. Request a free sample lesson and book a short demo with our team. After your demo, we'll share sample lessons with you so you can see the format for yourself.
