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.
