From BristolReflecting on my studies to complete CIPS Levels 4 to 6, it's been a tremendous period of growth for me, both personally and professionally.
Whilst the modules are focused on Procurement & Supply the application of what I've learnt across Levels 4 to 6 ranges far beyond the Procurement domain, which has in turn allowed significant wide-ranging benefits to be realised by the business. Personally, I went into CIPS wanting to broaden my horizons without pigeon-holing myself into a narrow discipline. CIPS has absolutely satisfied this, and the breadth of learning has opened doors to me that weren't there before I started my studies.
Whilst the content across Levels 4 to 6 might look daunting, SGS College do an excellent job of structuring the learning to build up the required knowledge across the modules. This approach made it manageable for me, and in turn I was far more likely to pass each exam first time.
Having achieved two promotions over the 3-year timeframe to complete Levels 4 to 6, I can happily say that I've reaped the benefits of the time invested in CIPS. I would heartily recommend studying CIPS with SGS College for to anyone looking to grow themselves professionally.
