I have just completed the Procurement Academy’s CIPS Level 4 program, and the process from start to finish was fantastic. The team was well-organized and always open to helping me balance study time alongside full-time employment. The sessions themselves were excellent, and even though the study group included people from many different industries, the tutor showed great agility in tailoring each session to involve every student. Each class was engaging, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
