SRSCC Offers Online Procurement Courses for Busy Professionals

Procurement and supply chain management play an important role in organisations across a wide range of sectors. For busy professionals, however, balancing work and personal commitments with further study can make traditional classroom-based learning difficult.

SRSCC offers flexible online learning options across our CIPS qualification pathway, helping learners develop their procurement and supply knowledge without needing to attend every session in person.

We support learners studying from CIPS Level 3 through to CIPS Level 6, alongside a range of procurement and supply apprenticeships at Levels 3, 4 and 6.

These programmes are designed to help learners develop practical procurement, commercial and supply chain skills that can be applied directly within the workplace.

Flexible Online Procurement Learning

Online learning can be particularly useful for professionals who need to balance study with work, family or other commitments.

SRSCC offers flexible study options including the Live Virtual Classroom and our Independent Learning Zone, allowing learners to choose a study approach that suits their schedule and preferred way of learning.

Learners are supported by experienced procurement and supply tutors, with access to structured learning materials, guidance and resources throughout their programme.

Online study may include a combination of live teaching, independent learning, videos, activities, assessments and practical workplace application, depending on the programme and delivery route.

Online CIPS Qualifications

CIPS qualifications provide a structured professional development route for people working in procurement and supply.

The qualification pathway includes:

If you are unsure which qualification is most appropriate, our guide to what CIPS is and how the qualification pathway works can help explain the different levels.

For learners progressing through the professional qualification route, the CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma is the final academic stage before applying for MCIPS professional status. Applicants must also meet the relevant professional experience requirements.

You can find out more in our guide to achieving MCIPS status.

Procurement and Supply Apprenticeships

SRSCC also delivers procurement and supply apprenticeships for learners developing through the workplace.

Our current apprenticeship programmes include:

  • Level 3 Procurement and Supply Assistant Apprenticeship
  • Level 3 Supply Chain Practitioner Apprenticeship
  • Level 4 Commercial Procurement and Supply Apprenticeship
  • Level 6 Senior Procurement and Supply Chain Professional Apprenticeship

Apprenticeships combine structured learning with workplace development, helping learners build knowledge, skills and experience while continuing in employment.

You can explore how the different levels fit together in our Procurement and Supply Apprenticeship Pathway.

Supporting Learners at Different Career Stages

Flexible learning can support people at many different stages of their career, including school leavers, career changers, parents and carers, shift workers and experienced professionals looking to develop new skills.

SRSCC’s programmes are designed to help learners build practical procurement and supply knowledge alongside their existing professional responsibilities.

There is no upper age limit for apprenticeships, and apprenticeship programmes can support both people starting their careers and existing employees developing within their current role.

Whether you are looking to begin a career in procurement, develop within an existing role or progress towards more senior responsibilities, SRSCC offers a range of flexible CIPS qualifications and apprenticeship programmes.

Bethanie Stimpson SRSCC

Bethanie Stimpson

Progress Mentor

Bethanie began her career in the fitness industry, working as a personal trainer and gym instructor before becoming involved in coaching children through a triathlon club. This experience sparked her passion for working with young people and ultimately led her into a career in education. She initially worked in a nursery and later as a one-to-one teaching assistant in a primary school, before completing her teaching qualification and postgraduate studies. Since then, Bethanie has taught in both the private and state education sectors.

Her academic background includes a qualification in Sports Development, Fitness and Coaching at college, alongside a Childhood & Youth undergraduate degree (2:1). These studies have enabled her to combine her interests in sport, education, and child development, shaping her holistic approach to teaching and mentoring.

Bethanie is passionate about supporting learners to achieve their goals — educationally, personally, and in terms of wellbeing. She places strong emphasis on communication and relationship building, and takes great pride in helping individuals build confidence and overcome challenges. One of her proudest achievements has been supporting learners who initially doubted themselves to grow in confidence and achieve success.

Outside of work, Bethanie has always maintained a strong interest in sport. She previously competed in triathlons and now focuses on running and swimming. In 2023, she completed the London Marathon — an achievement she is particularly proud of. She also enjoys spending time outdoors with her family and their two dogs, which is where she is happiest when not working.

Ola Kambul

Skills Coach

Ola began her career in supply chain within fast-paced warehouse and logistics environments, where she developed a strong understanding of operations and people management. Her journey into the Supply Chain sector wasn’t planned, but through hands-on experience she discovered a passion for improving processes and supporting others – which naturally led her into training and development.

She has progressed through a range of roles across operations, recruitment, and training, including Programme Coach and L&D Lead. She designed and delivered apprenticeship programmes, supporting over 40 learners to successful completion and contributing to strong quality outcomes and inspection success.  Her transition into mentoring was driven by a desire to make a direct impact on people’s confidence, growth, and career progression.

Ola’s mentoring style is supportive, structured, and empowering. She combines real operational experience with coaching expertise, helping learners apply knowledge in practical workplace settings. One of her proudest career achievements has been supporting learners who started with low confidence to achieve distinctions and progress into new roles within their organisations. She has also led a UK-wide Mental Health First Aider network, embedding wellbeing into workplace culture and supporting colleagues through challenging situations.

From day one, she shares a consistent message with every learner: “You’re more capable than you think – but you have to be willing to step outside your comfort zone to see it.”

Outside of work, Ola enjoys walking with her Border Collie, Luna, and cross stitching. She recommends Legacy by James Kerr to anyone in supply chain, for its powerful insights into leadership and culture. If she wasn’t working in mentoring and development, she would likely be pursuing a career as a Visual Merchandiser.
