The Procurement Academy have made it easy to complete my studies and ensure that my performance at my job hasn't suffered, and has even improved my performance through the use of real-world examples and application of knowledge.

Ben Bodycombe, Office Depot

I am really enjoying the course so far. I enjoy the way Mike delivers the content as he shares experience he has so that we can relate to the learning objectives. I find this way of learning much better than sticking solely to the book.…
