CIPS Student Stories: Bassel Hindash | CIPS Level 4 Diploma

Bassel is a Strategic Buyer for Walgreens Boots Alliance and wanted to further develop his knowledge and improve future career progression with a CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply. 

My name is Bassel Hindash and I am currently a Strategic Buyer for Walgreens Boots Alliance and I primarily focus on raw materials buying as part of the Global Sourcing team.

The course that I am studying with ICS Learn is the CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply and I started my ICS Learn journey in June 2021. I chose ICS Learn as my study partner due to the great online reviews and tools available to its students. 

Another key element that made ICS Learn stand out amongst other providers was that the course was 100% online, this meant I had the freedom to study in my own time, as well as the flexibility I needed when it came to choosing my study hours.

The course offers great tutor support and course content; I found my tutor was well experienced within the Procurement and Supply Chain industry and had a strong background and knowledge of CIPS.

My tutor also provided me with great guidance and support whenever I have a question or needed clarity on a specific topic, and I found contacting them was really straightforward through the student portal.

This was my first time trying online learning and I did think I would find keeping track of exam dates and course activities challenging, but to my delight ICS Learn were very proactive in sending reminders and updates to students regularly - which I found really helpful!

I found the course material and the tutor support very useful, positive, and beneficial in supporting and guiding me in preparation for my exams and coursework.

The CIPS Level 4 Diploma will be a key attribute to my future progression within the Procurement and Supply Chain industry and I intend to complete further study with ICS Learn in the future in order to achieve the MCIPS qualification and beyond.

I would strongly recommend ICS Learn for any individual who wants to obtain a Diploma, Certificate or Award within their industry or role, as ICS Learn offers a wide variety of courses, both academic and professional.
