(1888PressRelease) February 17, 2011 - In a time where budgets for all organisations are under increasing pressure and the need to manage business purchases and suppliers is a key business advantage. The investment in the right skills and training for those in procurement roles can lead to added value in contract negotiations, the management of the supply chain and how to get the best from the purchasing function.

The dynamic nature of markets and the change in the nature of supply chains means that keeping up to date with the latest techniques in purchasing, negotiation and performance management is essential for today's business success.

Cambridge Professional Academy is offering a full programme at levels 4 & 5 from their Eastern Centre located in Cambridge city centre, with the more strategic level 6 qualification being added to the programme later in 2011. The level 4 qualification is designed specifically for those who are interested in starting or have newly begun a career in purchasing and supply, whilst those looking to build on their relevant experience towards a management position will be most suited to the level 5 qualification.

By studying for a professional qualification buyers will develop the skills and insight necessary to improve their performance plus open up new career options that come with a recognised professional qualification. Cambridge Professional Academy also welcomes students who have already been involved in studying or coming back to complete a CIPS qualification.

Leading the CIPS range of qualifications is Philip Robinson, who has a strong track record in the delivery of CIPS qualifications and a professional business career that includes senior, international positions in blue chip organisations.

Cambridge Professional Academy Managing Director Kelvin Bathe commented "We are delighted to add the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply to our portfolio of professional qualifications. We identified that in the current business climate there has been an increasing need for efficient buying and strong relationships with suppliers which has never been greater. The quality of the CIPS programme is excellent and suited our current offerings ideally, we felt that they will add real value for both the individual delegate and their organisation."

He continued "We are also very happy to have Philip as our qualification leader as he has extensive real world experience and a passion for the subject which gives student a thorough understanding of the syllabus and up to date examples that add real interest to the learning experience."
