Bespoke training and professional qualifications

Combining bespoke training with our professional qualifications

We have the unique ability to combine professional qualifications with our in-company training programmes. This means that you can also work towards our accredited Practitioner / Advanced Practitioner as you train in-house. We call this integrated approach the ‘CIPS Corporate Award’.


The essence of the Corporate Award is that rather than studying in isolation on theoretical projects you can immediately apply the knowledge you gain within the working environment. Instead you undertake work-based project - assignments, case studies and tuition are geared towards real data from ‘live’ organisation projects wherever possible. This means that the work you undertake is directly relevant to your business and capable of implementation, with the potential of delivering tangible return on the investment in training.


Our Corporate Award includes a full support service for each student on your team. We support you through your study, help to resolve problems and facilitate research.


The first level of our Corporate Award leads to the Corporate Award Procurement Practitioner and awards Associate Membership status. At the more advanced level, you can gain the Corporate Award Advanced Practitioner, which enables you to apply for full membership and providing you have attained three years experience, permits you to use MCIPS after your name.


Studying for our Graduate Diploma can be a challenge but many students find that they can obtain invaluable support from working with colleagues on an in-company programme. We can provide cost-effective, modular study programmes with special examinations scheduled to suit your work patterns.
