Advanced Certificate Training
The CIPS Level 3 Advanced Certificate Training is the first level of our offering and is an effective entry way into the CIPS qualifications for the less experienced procurement professional. There are no formal entry requirements for this qualification so you can get started whenever you would like.
There are four core modules on the CIPS Level 3 Advanced Certificate, and one elective module which can be choosen to match your learning more closely to your organisation’s requirements.
The five modules that make up the Advanced Certificate are all objective response exams, which means that they are multiple choice questions. Each exam lasts a total of 1.5 hours.
Our CIPS Level 3 Advanced Certificate programme is a comprehensive online offering that brings training, guidance and tools virtually. It is essentially a classroom offering delivered virtually.
This is our premium training package.
This includes access to our virtual learning platform, with videos, exercises, revision sheets, assignments, quizzes and revision webinars. Blended with this are live virtual sessions with up to 30 hours of live tuition and personalised support of your course tutor.
This is our virtual distance learning.
This includes access to our virtual learning platform and its material.
This course is self-paced and students get access to their tutor via email or calls.
The Business Academy online supporting material is presented in a high quality professional format that is really easy to use with comprehensive & logical explanations of all key learning objectives. Laura’s presentation style is particularly engaging which has really helped me to retain focus on some of the more complex topics.I have been delighted by the support provided by pursuing my ongoing studies through BAO: Lauras examples detailed in her lectures, humorous anecdotes and revision notes all help to keep the otherwise “dry” content entertaining and memorable especially when studying after a long working day. In addition she has been swift and informative in her response when I have come across any theoretical content which I haven’t fully understood and have sought clarification for. Great value for money course material too. Thank you Laura!
Laura is an innovative and charismatic coach and trainer who knows how to build relationships of trust with those she is working with. I hired Laura to create a bespoke training program for the organisation I was working for in 2015, an international tribunal in The Hague. The training was such a great success with both the participants and management that we had to offer a second session right after the initial round.
I couldn’t be happier to be studying with Business Academy Online. From the engaging videos to the excellent revisions notes and webinars, Laura has provided me everything I need to successfully pass my exams. Even though I’m studying remotely Laura’s personality really shines through during her delivery of course material providing a wealth of real life examples and anecdotes (which often cause me to laugh out loud) it’s a genuine pleasure to study with her!
Business Academy Online has enabled me to approach the learning of CIPS Level 4 Diploma in a flexible way to fit around work and family life. The materials and process of learning in place enables the depth of understanding required to be successful for each exam. Laura is always on hand to provide additional support and guidance when required
