Posted on Google Rob BookerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Katie and Lynn were incredibly supportive throughout my level 4 course and took all of the administrative hassle out of arranging material and exams. The course material they supply is concise and to the point making it easy to digest and understand. I did my level 4 in my own time whilst having a full time job, 2 small children and going through the process of moving house and I managed to pass all 8 exams first time. I would absolutely recommend them.Posted on Google kimlazTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Founder & Lead Tutor
Katie Jarvis-Grove
FCIPS CHARTERED · Creator of the Aspire revision packs
Katie has spent over twenty-five years working in procurement across four sectors, achieving Chartered FCIPS chartered status in 2015. She created the Aspire revision packs after noticing that most CIPS students were either over-revising broad textbooks or under-preparing for the specific demands of the OR exam format.
Her approach is deliberate: concise, targeted, and built around what the exam actually tests. The 95% pass rate across all CIPS levels reflects how well it works.
Before you buy
Frequently asked questions
How does L5M7 differ from L3M4 and L4M7 Whole Life Asset Management
L5M7 operates at a strategic level — applying advanced costing models, portfolio strategy, and sustainability frameworks in complex organisational contexts, going well beyond the operational and diploma-level coverage at earlier levels.
What is a CR (Constructed Response) exam?
A Constructed Response exam requires you to write detailed, analytical responses to complex scenarios. Rather than multiple-choice questions, you’ll demonstrate your understanding through well-structured written answers, showing your analysis, reasoning, and application of procurement principles.
How long do I have access to the study materials?
You have unlimited access to your study pack once purchased. Access is device-agnostic, so you can learn on your computer, tablet, or mobile device.
Will Katie Jarvis-Grove review my written work?
Yes — as part of your study pack, Katie will review your written practice answers and provide constructive feedback to help you develop your exam technique and deepen your understanding.
