These are the general benefits of the CIPS Graduate Diploma, some of our testimonials below first-hand these benefits in practice

I completed my CIPS Diploma level qualification with Lean Procurement gaining many merit grades along the way, and am now progressing through the Advanced Diploma level. During this time, I have moved roles internally within my company and really feel that starting the qualification has helped me gain the skills and knowledge needed to work in a range of procurement disciplines. I've found that as well as the qualification the support from Lean Procurement has been excellent giving me advice on any procurement related questions. I would absolutely recommend Lean Procurement to anyone that wants to upskill and develop in their procurement career

I have recently completed studying diploma level with Lean Procurement, which has been thoroughly enjoyable.

The team at Lean Procurement provide a first-class learning experience with professionally delivered classes and are always willing to go the extra mile to support students.

The CIPS diploma level provided me with a solid technical understanding across the key subject areas and I personally found the topics both interesting and practical. I have also found the knowledge gained at diploma level beneficial across a number of day-to-day work activities.

I started studying for my CIPS Level 4 Diploma with Lean Procurement in early 2018. completing it within rust over a year. The team at Lean Procurement, particularly Cohn, are very helpful and are always vnlling to do whatever it takes to ensure we have all the resources required to pass our exams. The CIPS qualification is very beneficial as it explores a vast vanety of topics which I found to be very valuable both for my personal development and within my rob role Since passing my Diploma I have been promoted into a higher position and believe without CIPS this would not have been possible. I am now studying for my Level 5 Advanced Diploma and look forward to continuing to study with Cohn and the team at Lean Procurement

I completed my Diploma level CIPS qualification through Lean Procurement and have recently started a new job with NHS Grampian in procurement after being out of work recently. Having worked previously in the oil and gas sector. I can confidently state that having the qualification greatly assisted me in securing this new role. CIPS was mentioned in the job advertisement and was also discussed at the interview stage. Having the foundation procurement knowledge from the qualification I'm now looking forward to also applying it in a completely different sector. I can absolutely vouch for the value of the CIPS qualification along with helping my personal development and learning

I cannot recommend Colin at Lean procurement enough. His method of teaching CIPS is really versatile and suits all different types of personalities which is so important because everyone learns differently and through different techniques. Support is terrific. Colin is always on hand for questions and really looks through your work through out the course to ensure you're on track. I never once doubted myself while studying with Colin's support and teaching on level 4 CIPS. Would not hesitate to return in future. I would recommend anyone wanting to study any level of CIPS to contact Colin at Lean Procurement.
