Introduction
The Warehouse Operations Specialist (WOS) certification is awarded by the Global Institute of Professional Management Certification (GIPMC). It covers the everyday work of warehouses and distribution centers: receiving goods, storing and counting stock, picking and packing orders, using equipment and systems safely, and tracking performance.
GIPMC aims WOS at warehouse operators, stock control staff, team leaders and supervisors, distribution and logistics coordinators, e-commerce fulfillment staff, supply chain operations staff, and people moving into warehouse management.
