100% Funded by Tamkeen
If you're a Bahraini registered as a jobseeker with the Ministry of Labour, you qualify for full 100% Tamkeen funding on CIPS — the international gold standard in procurement and supply. Start at Level 2 or Level 3 based on your degree, and graduate with a UK qualification recognised in 150+ countries.
Why procurement?
Procurement and supply chain isn't a side function — it's the backbone of any organisation that buys goods or services. And in Bahrain, commercial banks, oil & gas operators, government bodies, hospitals, and educational institutions all need procurement professionals on an ongoing basis.
Roles are available across multiple levels: Procurement Assistant, Procurement Coordinator, Buyer, and — with accumulated experience and higher CIPS levels — Procurement Manager.
What distinguishes this sector is that entry is possible with a professional qualification like CIPS even without prior experience — employers trust the credential as evidence of professional knowledge and work-readiness.

A path for everyone
CIPS is taught and examined in English. So we give every applicant an English placement test before enrolment. If your level is sufficient, you go straight into CIPS.
If your level needs strengthening, we route you into CILT Level 3 — an international qualification in transport and logistics, delivered entirely in Arabic, also fully funded by Tamkeen for jobseekers.
The principle is simple: no one is turned away; everyone finds the right path.
From registration to certificate
We guide you step by step — you focus on learning, we make sure the path is clear from enrolment to graduation.
If you aren't registered yet as a jobseeker, we guide you through registration via the Ministry of Labour portal. This is the foundational requirement for full Tamkeen funding.
You reach out, we run the English placement test, and together we confirm whether your path is CIPS (L2/L3) or CILT L3 in Arabic.
You submit the funding application yourself via the Tamkeen portal — we walk you through the required documents and the correct way to fill it in.
Once Tamkeen approves, study begins. You focus on learning; we coordinate with Tamkeen and the awarding body until your certificate is issued.

FAQ
Yes. CIPS Level 2 and Level 3 are designed specifically for people new to procurement. You don't need prior experience — only the commitment to learn a new profession. The syllabus begins with the fundamentals: what procurement is, how supply chains work, and how a professional engages with suppliers.
Our role is to qualify you professionally with an internationally recognised credential and equip you with the knowledge and skills employers in Bahrain and the Gulf look for. The qualification itself meaningfully improves your chances — Bahrain's banks, oil companies, and government bodies actively seek CIPS-credentialled candidates. Securing the job is your own work, but you graduate with a qualification that opens doors that were closed before CIPS.
Your starting level depends on your academic qualification: diploma holders start at Level 2 (CIPS Certificate); bachelor's degree holders start at Level 3 (CIPS Advanced Certificate). Both levels are fully funded by Tamkeen for jobseekers and open the same long-term career progression path.
CIPS is taught and examined in English. So we give every applicant an English placement test before enrolment. If your level is sufficient, you go straight into CIPS. If it needs strengthening, we route you into CILT Level 3 — delivered fully in Arabic — also fully funded by Tamkeen for jobseekers. No one is turned away; everyone finds the right path.
Each level runs between 6 and 9 months depending on the study pace and number of units. Part-time delivery lets you focus on passing the CIPS exams while also preparing for the job market. You receive your CIPS certificate directly from CIPS UK once you pass the assessments.
You need to be registered as a jobseeker with the Ministry of Labour in the Kingdom of Bahrain. That registration is what qualifies you for 100% Tamkeen funding. If you aren't registered yet, it's a quick process through the Ministry of Labour portal — usually done in a day.
Level 2 (Certificate) is for complete beginners — covers procurement fundamentals and terminology. Level 3 (Advanced Certificate) is deeper and suits a higher academic background. Level 4 (Diploma) is for working professionals or those aiming for a leadership role and typically expects prior experience. As a jobseeker, your entry point is L2 or L3 based on your degree — don't skip directly to L4.
CIPS is the UK's Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply, recognised in 150+ countries — including all GCC member states. Any procurement role in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, or Oman treats CIPS as a recognised credential. Your qualification travels with you.
