  4. Get your certificate

Questions

Before you buy

Anything else? Email tim@youngprocurement.co.uk

Do I need to be technical?

No. The AI writes the code. You learn to describe what you need clearly, check that what you get back works, and fix it when it doesn't.

Which AI tools do I need?

Any mainstream assistant: Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini or Grok. Free tiers are enough because the builds use made-up test data. If your employer provides an approved AI tool, use that one.

Is this a CIPS qualification?

No. It's independent training with its own certificate of completion. For CIPS study, see Procurement Training.

Can my employer pay, or can I buy for a team?

Yes. Pay by card and use the Stripe receipt for an expense claim. For several people, email Tim and he'll set up access for the team.

How long do I keep access?

For as long as the site runs. You pay once, there's no subscription, and your progress stays in your account.

Can I get a refund?

Because you get the full course immediately, you confirm at checkout that you're giving up the 14-day cancellation period. Billing errors and access problems are always put right. See the refund policy.
