Course description
Level 4 Commercial Procurement and Supply Apprenticeship
The work of procurement and supply professionals involves the process of procurement of buying goods and services however, their roles are often much broader. The Commercial Procurement and Supply Chain Apprenticeship takes into consideration the extended range of related commercial activity such as influencing policy, financial analysis, engaging in contract law, and developing strategy to deliver services.
Encompassing the entire procurement cycle, achieving the Level 4 in Procurement and Supply will enable an individual to use their breadth and depth of experience to position themselves as a fully effective commercially skilled professional with transferable skills and career options that span the public, private and charitable sectors. This will be supported by the attainment of a Level 4 Diploma with the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).
