Yesterday was CIPS Graduation day and once again Cordie was there to celebrate the achievements of many CIPS learners and apprentices from around the world.

BREAKING NEWS… Cordie has just launched an exciting new way to study for your CIPS professional qualifications. You can now watch bite-size study tips and learning aids on YouTube to support preparation for your CIPS exams!

Studying for your professional qualifications can be stressful. The CIPS procurement diploma programmes are challenging degree-level qualifications that lead to professional status to accelerate your career. That’s why, in conjunction with Mental Health Awareness week in May, Cordie has launched our revised Mental Health & Wellbeing Policy for all learners and staff.

We’ve always gone out of our way to create an open, fair and transparent working culture throughout Cordie. Integrity and good business ethics are at the core of our business values, which is why today we are launching our new Whistleblowing Policy.

We’re excited to announce another tender success last week with Cordie being awarded the UK Government contract to deliver the Level 4 Commercial Apprenticeship in Procurement & Supply for the next 2-3 years.

It’s CIPS exam week and, once again, we are excited to support all our learners through the final preparations for their ‘big’ day! This year we have introduced an additional “CIPS Exam Essay Writing Skills” workshop to support first-time CIPS students with the skills and techniques to write great essay answers during their Constructed Response (CR) exams.

HOT OFF THE PRESS… We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first cohort for the Level 3 Procurement & Supply Assistant apprenticeship. Yesterday we held an induction event for newly enrolled learners and their line managers where our CIPS tutors provided an overview of the programme requirements and how the necessary portfolio of procurement skills will be developed over this engaging 18-month programme.

Once again, Cordie has been awarded the CIPS “centre of excellence” accreditation. This time, for the 12th year in a row!

We’ve started the New Year with a bang! Cordie is delighted to announce another new cohort of procurement apprentices, starting later this month. Earlier this week, we finalised a contract with the Government’s Crown Commercial Service for a new intake of learners. This grows on our existing strong relationship with the CCS and will run in parallel with our CIPS study centre offerings to central government.

Cordie procurement apprentices were treated to another great ‘Employment Insights’ session earlier today, when Director of Procurement, Mark Revell from the L&Q Group presented an overview of his career journey to the top of the profession.
