Just one week to go until our next Diamond live lessons begin 💎

Pepper is just as excited as we are 🐾

Our Diamond students get live virtual teaching, practical activities, tutor support and recordings to revisit afterwards, so there’s plenty of support both during and after each session.

Take a look in the comments for the Diamond timetable for our next cohort, including all the lesson dates.

😬 What if I fail a CIPS exam?

You take it again.

That’s it. No drama. No judgement.

One exam result doesn’t define how good you are at your job, and it certainly doesn’t mean you can’t achieve MCIPS.

Sometimes life gets in the way. Sometimes a module just doesn’t click first time. Sometimes you simply have a bad exam day.

A resit is a second attempt, not a reason to give up.

Be honest… is it the studying that’s stopping you, or the fear of failing? 💛

📚 “I haven’t studied for 20 years. Can I really do CIPS?”

Absolutely.

Many of our students haven't studied for 10, 15 or even 20+ years.

Yes, starting again can feel daunting.

That’s why we don’t just teach you what you need to know. We teach you how to learn again.

🧠 Short, manageable study
🧠 Techniques to make learning stick
🧠 Exam preparation and practice
🧠 Neuro-inclusive strategies for different ways of learning
🧠 Linking theory to what you already know from work

You don’t need to be naturally academic.

You just need the right approach and the right support.

🎉 Meet Emma, our 2026/27 Scholarship Winner!

We’re thrilled to announce that Emma has been chosen as this year’s BAO scholarship winner.

We received 40 applications this year and was genuinely impressed by the quality of the submissions. A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to apply.

We thought the best way to introduce Emma was to let her do it herself.

Huge congratulations, Emma. We’re looking forward to you getting started on Level 4 Diamond and supporting you on your CIPS journey! 💎

🎓 This is exactly why we created the BAO Scholarship

Hearing Nat talk about her experience genuinely makes us smile. A scholarship isn’t just about funding a qualification, it’s about giving someone an opportunity, backing them to go for it and, hopefully, opening a few doors along the way.

And Nat has absolutely made the most of hers 🙌

A huge thank you to Nat for sharing this with us. It's been an absolute pleasure teaching you and watching your journey along the way!

We LOVE being able to do this each year, and now it’s very nearly time to hand that opportunity to someone else...

👀 Keep your eyes peeled because we’ll be announcing our 2026/27 BAO Scholarship winner this Friday!

We cannot wait to share who it is 🎉

🧠 What will CIPS actually teach me?

Forget the module names for a minute.

What will you actually learn that you can use at work?

You’ll learn how to:

🤝 Negotiate with more confidence
📑 Understand contracts and commercial risk
🔍 Evaluate and manage suppliers
⚠️ Spot risks before they become expensive problems
💷 Understand the numbers behind procurement decisions
🎯 Think more strategically
🗣️ Manage stakeholders and difficult relationships
📈 Make better commercial decisions

CIPS isn’t just about learning procurement terminology.

Done properly, it changes the way you think, challenge, negotiate and make decisions at work.

And that’s the bit that matters.

Anyone else like the smell of petrol?!
