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 Cordie has two professionally-qualified mental health first aiders in our team. They are here to support you, lend a listening ear and (if required) offer some confidential guidance.

Great news! For the 13th successive year, we have been audited and awarded the highest possible accreditation by the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).

Last week, Cordie procurement apprentices were treated to another great ‘Employment Insights’ session when Beth Wallace presented an overview of her career journey to the top of the profession, and how she was able to broaden out beyond procurement into general business leadership.

Once again Cordie has passed our annual Cyber Essentials Plus certification, giving reassurance to all our customers and learners that we have the appropriate systems and processes in place to protect personal data and commercial information.

We are proud to announce another tranche of CIPS exam revision videos has been released and uploaded onto the Cordie YouTube channel. Further resources to allow you to do your exam revision wherever you want!
