One of the reasons a lot of professionals are reluctant to begin their CIPS journey is the prohibitive costs of both the exams and the materials

For example, materials for the Diploma Level (L4) alone will cost two hundred and twenty pounds, while the exams themselves (8 modules) cost at least five hundred and forty-four pounds. Imagine having to expend same costs for L5 and L6, as well, to get the MCIPS designation, and you will understand why there is a shortage of CIPS-qualified Procurement Professionals in Nigeria.

While little (we will tell you how we can help) can be done about the exam costs themselves, we can actually help you achieve significant cost-savings on the materials.

We can provide you with the materials for the 8 modules for L4 at four thousand naira each. The materials will come in PDF format that is printable and compatible with all PDF document readers.

For getting materials from us, you will be entitled to the following perks:

1. Registration of student membership (if you are just starting out) and booking of exams at least twenty naira less the prevailing card dollar rate. For example, if the dollar rate for the day is four hundred and forty naira per dollar, we will do your registration and exam booking at an average of four hundred and ten naira per dollar. The idea is to reduce the cost implication of writing the CIPS exams. You can benefit from this perk even if you dont get materials from us. Terms and Conditions apply

2. You will get access to a mini-mentorship programme. I have nearly 6 years experience in supply chain and corporate business operations. I have also written two of the CIPS exams and i am billed to write more in March. So, i am quite versed with the structure and content of the CIPS exams. The mini-mentorship programme will include the following

- Providing answers to all your burning questions as regards the nature, structure, timeline and milestones of the CIPS exams and certifications.

- Reveal a timeline with which you can structure your exams so that you can make the most of your registration costs and get your certifications in record time, if you are on a tight budget and schedule

- Revision of materials and provision of AOC prior to examinations
