You will be assigned your own CIPS assessor; a highly experienced procurement professional who will personally guide you through the process.
Assessors support you to collate evidence demonstrating performance against five dimensions of our worldclass standards, common to every business.
This evidence is submitted to the CIPS Awarding Body to verify the level that has been achieved. Success leads to an award valid for two years.
The Programme is split into levels - Standard is about 'what' you do and Advanced is about 'how well' you do it.
Over 300 organisations globally have worked with CIPS to achieve a Procurement Excellence Award
