The CIPS Certificate in Purchasing and Supply |
The current registration fee for sitting CIPS examinations is £44.00 per subject if paid by the deadline stipulated. Examinations
for subjects within each level may be completed in any order but all
examinations in one level must be completed before progressing to the next. Examinations
are set and marked by CIPS centrally. All examinations are written but PC’s
are not permitted to be used. Up to four re-sits are normally allowed for each
subject. Each time you re-sit an examination you will have to pay the exam
registration fee again. You can take as many or as few subjects as you like at any examination sitting, up to a maximum of eight as permitted by the timetable. Examinations are held throughout the world during the third weeks of May and November each year. They may be taken at a location near to you, possibly through a recognised organisation such as The British Council. It is the responsibility of each candidate to ensure that they register for their examination(s) before the given deadlines. This is done by completing an Examination Entry Form and submitting it, together with the correct examination fee, by the closing date identified on the form. (Normally mid March for May exams and mid September for November exams) Regrettably late entries will not be accepted. CIPS examination entry form can be downloaded from the following links.
