How to achieve MCIPS?
MCIPS stands for member of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply. By member this means a fully qualified member. Full members are recognised internationally for their professional accomplishment. Full membership confers the post nominals MCIPS and represents an expression of professionalism associated with achieving the highest recognised global standard of excellence in procurement.
Members can achieve MCIPS through a range of study options, most notably through the CIPS Graduate Diploma in Purchasing and Supply, or by working through the Personal Development Plan (PDP). Please note that although successful completion of a PDP awards full member status, it does not award the CIPS Graduate Diploma.
