Warehouse Technician
Ten weeks on the floor of a working mock warehouse: racking, bins, pallets, an RF scanner in your hand and a pick list that has to come out right. The distribution belt along the Sanand and Changodar road has grown faster than the supply of people who can be trusted with a GRN entry, and that is the gap this course fills.
What you will be doing
A warehouse runs on two things: material moving without damage, and the system count matching the shelf count. Every module below serves one of those two.
RF scanner picking
Logging into the handheld, taking a pick task, reading location codes, scanning bin and item, handling a short pick, and closing a task properly. You will also learn what to do when the scanner says a bin is empty and it is not — because that is the moment most new pickers create a problem.
GRN and inbound
Unloading against an invoice and e-way bill, quantity and damage checking before signing, batch and expiry capture, GRN entry line by line, short and excess reporting, and putaway to the correct bin instead of the nearest one.
Bin and location logic
Rack, level and bin numbering, fast-moving versus slow-moving placement, FIFO and FEFO on dated stock, batch segregation, hazardous and food-grade separation rules, and why a pallet parked in an aisle is a safety issue and not a shortcut.
Equipment discipline
Hand pallet truck and stacker handling, load balance, pre-use checks, battery charging bay rules, and reach-truck familiarisation — enough to be safe as a trainee and ready for the employer's own certification, which is where the pay rise comes from.
Counts that hold up
Cycle counting a section, blind counts, reconciling a variance, writing an adjustment note with a reason, and understanding why an unexplained adjustment is treated more seriously than an honest mismatch.
Dispatch and documents
Pick, pack, label and stage; invoice and delivery challan matching; e-way bill basics and when one is needed; loading sequence; LR and POD handling; and gate-out discipline so nothing leaves without paper.
Week by week
| Weeks | Module | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | How a warehouse is laid out | Inbound, storage, picking, packing, dispatch and returns. Roles on a shift, who signs what, and the daily numbers a warehouse manager watches. |
| 2 | Safety and material handling | Manual lifting technique, pallet stability, aisle rules, fire points and exits, spill response, PPE, and the pre-use check on every piece of equipment you touch. |
| 3–4 | Inbound and GRN | Unloading drills against real invoices, damage and short reporting, batch and expiry capture, GRN entry on a WMS screen, putaway rules. |
| 5–6 | Storage and picking | Bin logic, FIFO and FEFO, RF scanner picking against timed pick lists, order consolidation, short-pick handling, replenishment from bulk to pick face. |
| 7 | Equipment | Hand pallet truck, stacker and reach-truck familiarisation under supervision; battery bay discipline; load charts and why they are not advisory. |
| 8 | Outbound and documents | Packing standards, labelling, staging, invoice and challan matching, e-way bill, loading plan, gate-out register. |
| 9 | Workplace block and site days | Safety induction, shift-handover practice, salary slip and paperwork session, plus two supervised days inside a partner's live distribution centre on the Sanand road. |
| 10 | Assessment and interviews | Employer-led practical — a timed pick, a GRN entry with a deliberate discrepancy, and a safety walk — followed by interviews with at least two partner employers. |
Eligibility
- Passed 10th standard
- Age 18 to 32 on the batch start date
- Able to read numbers and location codes accurately, and to enter data on a keyboard without hunting for every key
- Aadhaar and a bank passbook with a matching name
- Physically able to lift and move stock through a full shift
- For the reach-truck route later: a driving licence helps, and employers usually ask for 21 years minimum
Think about the commute before you enrol
- Most warehouse jobs from this batch are on the Changodar–Sanand–Bavla stretch. From Bapunagar or Ramol that is a long ride, and company transport is not always provided.
- Night shifts exist in this sector and pay a small allowance. Some employers rotate them weekly.
- We will cost your commute with you during counselling — bus fare, fuel, time — before you pay a rupee. A job that looks like Rs. 14,500 and costs Rs. 2,000 a month to reach is a different job.
What you leave with
The Team SK certificate, an assessment sheet signed by a warehouse or operations manager from a partner site, and, where a seat is confirmed, a placement letter stating your site address, joining date, shift pattern, whether transport is provided, and the named supervisor to report to at the gate.
Who hires from this batch
Third-party logistics operators running distribution centres on the Sarkhej–Bavla road; an e-commerce fulfilment site near Sanand; two pharma distributors in Changodar with cold-storage sections; a tile and sanitaryware distributor in Narol; and the stores departments of manufacturing units in Vatva and Odhav, which hire quietly but steadily.
Starting gross in 2026: around Rs. 14,500 for picker-packer and GRN roles. Trainees cleared on a reach truck by their employer within the first year typically move to Rs. 17,000–18,000. That certification is done at the employer's site, not ours — we get you ready for it.

Why the boring parts get the most hours
New trainees always want to get on the reach truck. It is the interesting machine, and it is the one that eventually pays more. But the reason a warehouse loses money is almost never the truck — it is a GRN entered from memory instead of from the invoice, a pallet put away in the wrong bin at the end of a shift, or a picker who marked a line complete when it was short by two cartons because he did not want to raise it.
So the timed picking drills run for two weeks, the GRN sessions include deliberately wrong invoices, and the assessment always contains one discrepancy that the trainee is expected to catch and report rather than paper over. Employers who have hired from us more than once tell us this is the difference they notice in the first month.
