luckyalex13 Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Hi, can anyone help me find this book (or set of books for free)??? please help contexts of procurement and supply - CIPS/ Profex or Diploma in Procurement and supply - full set of course books really struggling - they are so expensive!!!!!
davieG Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 How much is too expensive? Ebay seems to have some, not sure if they're the ones circa £25/30.

DB11 Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 That's what your student loan is for... Or is this some sort of test to see how good you are at procuring something for the diploma?
Rincewind Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 You could find them in charity shops - after the course is over. But is no good to you. Nothing in the Uni library? I would not set your hopes on getting them for free. Even second hand book shops will charge something. Another way is to sign up for some Uni message boards (if they have them) A student may be willing to trade for some beer or whatever they enjoy doing.
luckyalex13 Posted 5 October 2015 Author Posted 5 October 2015 No student loan. :-( working and doing in part time and after paying for course means no money left That's what your student loan is for... Or is this some sort of test to see how good you are at procuring something for the diploma?
luckyalex13 Posted 5 October 2015 Author Posted 5 October 2015 Didn't think I would get for free but u never know Can't seem to find second hand ones anywhere. Will look on message boards.

Webbo Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 What course are you doing? My eldest is doing a part time course in procurement at Derby Uni. There are some books on Ebay, not free though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=%20CIPS%2F%20Profex%20or%20Diploma%20in%20Procurement%20and%20supply&ssPageName=GSTL

lianne81 Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Not sure if you have one up there , but on facebook type in selling pages for where you are , then ask if anyone has any you may get lucky , good luck in finding them cheaper x
Webbo Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 Talking to my daughter, you can get a discount on books if you joins CIPS, problem is it costs over £200 to join. Apparently you can't take the exam unless you are a member though.
luckyalex13 Posted 5 October 2015 Author Posted 5 October 2015 Thank you.
