Is it right for me?
The Advanced Diploma in Procurement and Supply provides buyers and contract and supply chain managers with the expertise to improve organisational procurement and to fulfil organisational objectives. You will need to have achieved the CIPS Diploma in Procurement and Supply to qualify for this course.
What will I learn?
The course will give you the knowledge base to reduce cost, improve quality, manage the supply chain and deal with legal issues.
How am I taught?
The course is delivered through weekly teaching sessions based on session slides that supplement the course book and our comprehensive pass kit. The slides provide lots of additional supporting material and the kit likely questions and answers that are a shortcut to exam success.
There are usually 8 sessions per module. Recorded sessions are available for you to view as you wish. Our offer includes unlimited feedback on practice exam papers and a revision session for each module.
We also provide a guaranteed pass whereby if clients are unfortunate enough to be unsuccessful in an exam ( our pass rates for the Advanced Diploma are actually around 90- 95 % we hasten to add!) we will continue to tutor them without charge.
