Certification

Certified on your real work. Not on a quiz.

Six weeks, live. You take a procurement job you do every week, turn it into an AI workflow, and are graded on that workflow and the hours it saves.

The six weeks

One procurement job a week. Yours in week six.

Each week is a 90-minute live session on one procurement job, with a workflow kit to practise on and a short task to do before the next session. From week one you also build your own assessed workflow.

Microsoft CopilotChatGPTClaude
  1. Week 1

    Foundations, safe use and your baseline

    How Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude handle procurement work, where they go wrong, and which data is safe to use where. You choose the job you will be assessed on and time it as it runs today.

    You hand in: your chosen job, its baseline and your data rules
  2. Week 2

    Spend data: clean, classify, find the gaps

    Turn a messy spend extract into a clean, classified view, check the classification, and pick out the categories and suppliers worth a closer look.

    Workflow kit: spend analysis
  3. Week 3

    Sourcing: RFx drafting and bid comparison

    Draft an RFx from your requirements and a template, then compare supplier bids line by line, with every figure traced back to the bid.

    Workflow kit: RFx
  4. Week 4

    Contracts and supplier price increases

    Check a contract against your playbook, then test a supplier price increase against the contract clause and index data and draft the reply.

    Workflow kit: contracts and price increases
  5. Week 5

    Supplier risk, tail spend and your draft

    Build a supplier risk brief from public sources and find off-contract spend worth consolidating. Your draft workflow gets written feedback before the final week.

    You hand in: a draft of your workflow
  6. Week 6

    Your workflow, measured and presented

    Run your workflow on the same job, time it again and present it in ten minutes: the steps, the checks and the hours it saves.

    Assessment
The assessment

Graded on a real workflow and the hours it saves.

There is no multiple-choice test. You are assessed on a workflow for a job from your own work, and on the time it saves compared with how that job ran before.

  • 02A baselineHow long that job takes today, measured before you change anything.
  • 03The workflowWritten up step by step, with the prompts for the tool your company allows.

Ask your employer to pay

A letter for your manager or L&D team.

Each participant gets a letter that explains the programme, the assessment and the cost, so your manager or L&D team has what they need to approve it.

Questions

Before you sign up.

Can my employer pay for it?

Yes. Each participant gets a letter for their manager or L&D team that explains the programme, the assessment and the cost.

Which AI tools do you cover?

Whatever your company already allows: Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude. Every workflow shows the steps for each one. You do not need admin rights or special licences.

Do I need to use my company's data?

Your assessed workflow is a job from your own work, within the rules your company sets. Where a file cannot be used, you work on realistic sample data for that job instead.

How much time does it take each week?

About four hours a week for six weeks: one 90-minute live session, plus two to three hours practising on the kit and building your own workflow. Sessions are recorded, so you can catch up if you miss one.

Does the certificate expire?

It is valid for two years. To renew it, you submit one new measured workflow from your work before it expires, so the certificate keeps saying something true about what you can do.

When does the next cohort start?

The next cohorts are announced soon. Register your interest and you hear the dates first.

How is this different from the AI Procurement Lab?

The Lab gives you one new workflow kit every month at your own pace. Certification is a six-week live programme with an assessment and a certificate, and the public cohort includes 12 months of Lab access and all four Complete Courses to keep.

Can we run it for our whole team?

Yes. Company certification is a private cohort for your team, from £20,000, with 12 months of Lab access for every participant. See the team programmes.
