We’ve always gone out of our way to create an open, fair and transparent working culture throughout Cordie. Integrity and good business ethics are at the core of our business values, which is why today we are launching our new Whistleblowing Policy.

We’re excited to announce another tender success last week with Cordie being awarded the UK Government contract to deliver the Level 4 Commercial Apprenticeship in Procurement & Supply for the next 2-3 years.

It’s CIPS exam week and, once again, we are excited to support all our learners through the final preparations for their ‘big’ day! This year we have introduced an additional “CIPS Exam Essay Writing Skills” workshop to support first-time CIPS students with the skills and techniques to write great essay answers during their Constructed Response (CR) exams.

HOT OFF THE PRESS… We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first cohort for the Level 3 Procurement & Supply Assistant apprenticeship. Yesterday we held an induction event for newly enrolled learners and their line managers where our CIPS tutors provided an overview of the programme requirements and how the necessary portfolio of procurement skills will be developed over this engaging 18-month programme.

Once again, Cordie has been awarded the CIPS “centre of excellence” accreditation. This time, for the 12th year in a row!

We’ve started the New Year with a bang! Cordie is delighted to announce another new cohort of procurement apprentices, starting later this month. Earlier this week, we finalised a contract with the Government’s Crown Commercial Service for a new intake of learners. This grows on our existing strong relationship with the CCS and will run in parallel with our CIPS study centre offerings to central government.

Cordie procurement apprentices were treated to another great ‘Employment Insights’ session earlier today, when Director of Procurement, Mark Revell from the L&Q Group presented an overview of his career journey to the top of the profession.

We are delighted to confirm that Cordie has been successful in winning another procurement apprenticeship tender!

We’re delighted to announce that Cordie is now available to offer procurement apprenticeship programmes through a number of key public sector frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems!

We are delighted to announce that once again we have passed our annual Cyber Essentials Plus certification, giving reassurance to all our customers and learners that we have the appropriate systems and processes in place to protect personal data and commercial information.

We are delighted to announce the results of our first Ofsted inspection!

We have now successfully completed the move of our operational headquarters to the beautiful town of Christchurch, Dorset.

Cordie has been awarded the CIPS “centre of excellence” accreditation again for the 11th year in a row!

This Friday we proudly launched our second cohort of CIPS studies with the LatAm oil and gas corporation Pan-American Energy. This programme will see another 10 learners from Buenos Aires and Mexico City study the CIPS Diploma in Procurement & Supply qualification.

Hot off the press! We have just reviewed and updated our online “mock” exam practice questions for the whole of the CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement & Supply.
