Information, Advice & Guidance
Choosing the right qualification and career path can be challenging - but we are here to help! Some of the decisions you will face include:
making sure a qualification is appropriate for you;
being confident that the learning provided is suitable for your personal needs;
being certain a qualification is the right choice for your professional career development.
Our procurement learning programmes are aligned with the CIPS Global Standard for Procurement & Supply and sit within a recognised progression ladder of qualifications (as shown).
As well as offering information advice and guidance on which learning programme is best suited to you, we also help build your confidence to progress beyond this to the next personal and professional challenge for your career.
All our learning programmes are embedded with supporting information, advice and guidance (IAG). IAG is an essential element of any professional learning programme in supporting customers through their learning. Cordie is accredited with the UK Government’s Matrix Standard certification in providing this support; it’s an international Department for Education quality scheme to promote the wider aspects of learning and development.
You can access a copy of our Policy on IAG from the Our Policies page of this website here:
