L2M1 Study Pack

Pass L2M1 and start your CIPS journey with clarity and confidence

L2M1 introduces the language, principles and processes that the rest of your CIPS journey is built on, including the Five Rights, the sourcing cycle, stakeholder roles, and the ethical responsibilities that sit behind every procurement decision. The content looks approachable on paper, but the exam expects you to apply the right framework to the right scenario, not just recognise the terms. The L2M1 Study Pack gives you a comprehensive suite of Microsoft PowerPoint slide packs covering every learning outcome in an engaging, industry-relevant way, alongside suggested additional reading, homework and exercises, and quizzes that are marked and returned with feedback from our CIPS-approved tutor.

Improve and final prep

Refine, rewrite, rest
  • Days 8–9
    Receive and read Katie’s feedback carefully. In L4M3, look particularly for any observations about legal accuracy — imprecise use of terms, misidentification of contract elements, or application of the wrong legal principle to a scenario — as well as structural feedback about analytical quality. Both types of gap require different responses in your revision.
  • Day 10

    Rewrite any responses Katie identified as weaker, targeting both the legal accuracy and the analytical structure of each answer. For legal accuracy issues, return to the relevant section of the condensed notes before rewriting — getting the concept right in your head before putting it back on paper is more effective than attempting to rewrite from imprecise foundations.

  • Day 11

    Attempt two or three further practice questions under full timed conditions. Apply the improvements from the feedback and use the model answers to assess the quality of your responses before the exam.

  • Days 12–14

    Light review of the exam technique tips, particularly the guidance on applying legal concepts to scenarios rather than writing generally, and on time management across a three-hour paper. Rest properly. You’ve done the targeted work — your job now is to arrive at the exam clear-headed and ready to write.

Student feedback

What students say

Feedback from learners using the full study pack.

Right for you?

Who this pack is designed for

Designed for learners who want full module support, not just final revision. New learners: Progressing through CIPS Level 2 and need structured, beginner-friendly teaching for every topic. Transitioning professionals: Moving into procurement roles and need to understand the ethical and professional standards expected in the field. Apprentices: Want complete module support throughout your learning journey instead of last-minute revision only.

Exam approaching in 2–4 weeks

You’ve covered the L4M3 content and you’re moving into exam preparation. The pack gives you a structured plan built around the CR format, realistic practice questions at Level 4 standard, and tutor feedback that identifies where your written responses need to develop before exam day.

Resit students

L4M3 resit students often lost marks on legal precision or on the quality of analytical writing — applying general commercial knowledge where the exam required specific legal reasoning, or structuring responses descriptively rather than analytically. Katie’s marking identifies both types of gap and gives you clear, targeted guidance on how to correct them before the next sitting.

Self-study students

Commercial contracting experience creates a specific self-study risk in L4M3: feeling well prepared because the subject matter is familiar, while the gap between practical knowledge and exam-standard legal reasoning remains unexamined until the exam itself. The tutor-marked submission surfaces that gap while there is still time to do something about it.

Busy professionals

Twelve to fifteen hours fits around a full working week. The condensed format focuses every hour on the legal frameworks and analytical writing skills the exam tests — with a structured plan that prioritises applied practice over re-reading, because at Level 4, how precisely you apply legal concepts in writing is what the exam measures.

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

Is this suitable if I am completely new to procurement?

Yes. The study pack is designed to teach the module from the ground up, with easy-to-understand slides and guided progression. No prior knowledge is assumed.

How is this different from the revision pack?

The study pack covers complete module learning with slide-based content, key theory detail, quizzes, exercises, and ongoing support including a review of your work by KJG. The revision pack is shorter and focused on final exam preparation for students who have already learned the content.

How long do I get access?

Access terms are shown at checkout. Most learners complete L2M1 study over several weeks before the exam window, and access covers your typical study period.

When’s the best time to buy? 

Ideally two to four weeks before your exam date. That window allows you to complete the notes, sit the practice questions, submit for marking, and work through the feedback. Purchasing with fewer than ten days to go limits how much you’ll benefit from the full process.

What is pastoral support from LC?

Pastoral support is provided by LC to help you stay on track, feel supported, and manage any non-academic challenges during your studies.

Can I buy all Level 2 modules together?

Yes. You can choose the Level 2 study bundle for better value across all five modules, or explore the full course option which includes registration and exam fees.
