Two funded paths
Pick the field that fits you.
Both qualifications are 100% funded by Tamkeen for registered jobseekers. The choice comes down to the sector you want to work in — and the language you study in.
CIPS — Procurement & Supply
Best if your English is strong
The world's leading procurement qualification. Roles in banking, oil & gas, retail buying, and government tendering. Start at Level 2 or Level 3 based on your degree. Taught and examined in English.

CILT — Logistics & Transport
Study in Arabic or English
The international standard for logistics, transport, and supply chain. Roles in ports, warehousing, freight, and free zones. A UK Royal-Charter qualification you can study fully in Arabic — opening the credential to more Bahrainis.
