“I’m amazed and so chuffed I scored 100%! I couldn’t have done it without BAO who have made learning fun and manageable. I’m not known for having a great memory but clearly I am retaining what I learn which must be down to BAO’s teaching methods, with the material being broken down into chunks, the deep dive interactive classes and the weekly quizzes (which I love)!”
– Sheila Mari, South Worcestershire Procurement Officer
“Business Academy Online transformed my professional development. As a Buyer in a male-dominated field, the CIPS course gave me the confidence and skills to become more assertive and strategic in my role.
What sets this programme apart is its supportive learning environment. I could ask questions without feeling judged, especially in challenging areas like mathematics. The 90 minute interactive sessions and practical examples made complex procurement concepts come alive.
The course isn’t just about learning, it’s about career progression. I’ve already recommended it to my colleagues and I’m committed to completing level 6. For anyone looking to advance their procurement skills, this is a 10/10 experience!”
– Emily Adams-Liggins, Buyer, Techtest
“I’m absolutely thrilled with my 100% score. I really enjoy studying with BAO and feel the high quality of study material provided and the engaging live lessons led by knowledgeable tutors have proved invaluable to me so far.”
– Rebecca Kibble, Senior Buyer, Colas Rail
