CIPS Courses Overview

CIPS Courses Overview

CIPS is the globally recognised qualification in procurement and supply chain management.

When Colin McIntyre first started his procurement career as an expeditor, he overheard a buyer say -
‘to get that job you need your CIPS’.

Curiosity got the better of Colin and he found out more about the qualification and started his CIPS journey two months later at a local college.

A whole world then opened up – procurement was not just about placing Purchase Orders!

The CIPS Graduate Diploma provides is based on the CIPS Global Standard, built from a panel of 3000 practitioners and academics worldwide, across sectors and industry.

Put simply, achieving MCIPS will provide you with the tools to do your procurement or supply chain management job better, and procurement or supply chain management job after that.

A few years ago, Colin listened to a procurement manager saying, ‘I don’t need CIPS, I know everything that I need to know to do my job’.

Certainly, this manager knew his job well, and the way it needed to be conducted at the time. But could the job be done better and achieve better results from learning global best practices?

The answer here is yes! Adopting a growth mindset will increase financial growth.

Lean Procurement Ltd gives you all you need to gain your MCIPS qualification and certification.
