Testimonials

Here at The Procurement Academy, we are passionate about delivering the highest quality of training! But don’t take our word for it, have a look what others say about our tutors.

The Procurement Academy has made the journey toward achieving MCIPS a pleasure. Evidenced by my 100% pass rate to date of both CIPS Level 4 Diploma, and CIPS Level 5 Advanced Diploma, and my continuance to Level 6 Professional Diploma has been flexible, welcoming and professional. The tutor provides Positive application of modules, theory and learning against real life practicality, takes the time to get to know the students to assist the overall learning journey and outcome. My tutor (Paul) is exceptionally knowledgeable on both private and public sector procurement legislation, processes and policy.

I highly recommend, have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and have become part of a network of professionals I will keep in touch with for the future.

The application to join The Procurement Academy was easy, supported, and clear to expectation, and the many differing ways to attend a session accommodates a multitude of access requirements, plus backed up sessions, google classroom information, revision sessions, study guidance and support.

For someone that is a full time employee, juggling general work life balance, children, plus a broken ankle at one point! The customer service and professionalism has been flawless.
Achieving MCIPS will be great, leaving the academy not so great!

Sophie Morgan, Together Housing

I have been studying with the Procurement Academy for the past three years and have successfully passed all of my exams on the first attempt. Paul, the tutor, is exceptionally organised and knowledgeable, consistently delivering the material through real-world scenarios. This approach not only helps me excel in exams but also enables me to effectively apply the knowledge in my day-to-day work. The Procurement Academy as a whole is accommodating, always ensuring a supportive learning environment. Their commitment to excellence and practical application of procurement principles makes them a standout , providing invaluable resources and expertise that have truly enhanced my professional development.

Kym Wood, SSE

Paul is an excellent tutor, very inclusive and extremely knowledgeable. His courses are relaxed, at the right pace and just enough information for myself during the day to keep my interest and not feel overloaded with information. I have enjoyed all of my sessions and unfortunately it was my realisation that I only have one left which is a shame.

Jamie Ashton, NHS

Lots of additional reading to complete before and after study group meetings, my tutor is very knowledgeable and interactive with the class, I would highly recommend The Procurement Academy!

Samantha Biggs, Ministry of Justice

Reg is a fantastic tutor and everyone at the Procurement Academy has been great, in helping and supporting me to obtain MCIPS status.

Jonathan Harris, Arcadis

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. The way we work through exam questions in class is also very helpful. Planning what we would write and then sharing answers with the group. This way you are able to hear other peoples ideas that you hadn't thought of. The group has a great mix of industries which is great as you are able to hear about their perspective of procurement.

Chloe, CIPS Level 4, Nottingham

Excellent tutors, great group, and very good support. After considering College options, I would recommend using the group as the location is convenient and a good mix of public and private sector students

Paul Williams, Melton Borough Council

CIPs all done! All thanks to Reg Dyson and The Procurement Academy, can't recommend them highly enough.

Nigel Prideaux, Commercial Manager, Home Office Fire Commercial

Trainers had excellent knowledge of the subject and made the course engaging

Katherine Blackmore, CGR Supply Chain Governance Specialist, EDF Energy.

I found it useful that Mandy’s answers and feedback would be given in a considered and constructive way. Mandy created a safe environment for questions and observations that enabled quality group discussions. I gained a lot from the classes that Mandy delivered. I have been on multiple training courses but Mandy is the only tutor that I wouldn’t hesitate to contact if required for guidance or advice.

Elizabeth Tyler MCIPS, Category Manager, Professional Services Britvic PLC

As usual Mandy’s vast experience shone through. I was particularly impressed in the professional & sensitive way she guided some of my more nervous & less experienced colleagues.
