CIPS Fast Track Graduate Diploma

Introduction

 

The DPSS Modular fast track programme - based in Birmingham, Dartford (Ken)t and Cambridge - for the CIPS Graduate Diploma. It has been designed to offer free standing subject modules to candidates who are seeking a "fast track" route towards full MCIPS qualification.

All modules can be taken individually or as part of a complete course of study. 

Each module is taken on an intensive study basis. Candidates will have 3-6 weeks of pre-course reading supported by a series of highly focused, interactive training events. The events will cover the syllabus content, making use of case study, past papers and also will focus on exam technique.

(Note: you must have student membership of CIPS in order to sit any CIPS exams and you must enter for the examinations, before the appropriate CIPS deadline)

Benefits to the Student

It is not only the flexibility of the programme that will benefit all candidates; it would also be difficult to find the quality of process or tutoring outside of DPSS the delivery team which includes:

• Professor David Jessop - author of “Purchasing Principals and Management”

• Ray Carter – author of “Practical Procurement”

• Barry Crocker – author of “The Relationship Drive Supply Chain”

And many other respected experts

DPSS has ISO 9001:2000 accreditation for the training we deliver, and are also a CIPS Centre of Excellence. In addition, a significant proportion of the tutors for the modules will be (or have been) CIPS examiners or authors of CIPS study guides / recommended course texts. All the DPSS tutors have a wealth of practical knowledge and experience in the purchasing and supply chain functions, and will draw upon this to support the training they deliver. DPSS has a track record of running in house CIPS programmes all over the world for the past 20 years, working with major corporate clients. DPSS has delivered CIPS foundation and professional training for The Shell Group (UK, Nigeria, Thailand, Netherlands, Brunei and Venezuela) the DWP, NHS, BP, Foster Wheeler, Ashanti Goldfield Ltd and the MOD Contracts Policy Division to name but a few. Following the successes of the in house CIPS programmes DPSS took the decision to make the purchasing and supply training programmes open and available to all. 

Prior to joining, on the fast track area of the dpss website (see link below) you will be able to access a full timetable for the modules for your referred location, an online sign-up form, location information (including travel information), prices and terms and conditions.

Once you have signed up for any module on the programme you will be provided with all you need to know about joining instructions on a PDF download. You will also be given passworded access to our secure area, from which you can download course materials, articles, relevant web links and other resources to support your programme of study

Many students may have already completed studies for other qualifications that may have had a similar content and were of at least the same standard as our unit content. Please contact CIPS to find out more details on exemptions. More details are available on their website - click here
