I live in the UK, and started work in Consulting in 2023. I have a keen interest in the public sector, particularly in large-scale investments and procurements. My experiences to date have spanned Central Government and Defence procurements.
I started CIPS at the end of 2024, passing L4M1 in November 2024 with a Distinction (87%), and have since passed every Level 4 module. I chose to self-study, and found it a great and affordable option.
Why this site?
My intent with this site is to share the notes I made while studying CIPS Level 4. I will keep these notes free of charge. I make my notes through a combination of my own career experience, YouTube and CIPS textbooks. Above all, I try to distil my content down to what I think is required for the exams and attempt to make things more relatable.
If you'd like a printable copy of the notes, or want to test yourself under exam conditions, you can find PDFs and mock exams in the shop. Buying these helps keep the notes free for everyone.
