The L6M5 exam is the official CIPS exam behind CIPS Strategic Programme Leadership — passing it earns you the CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma in Procurement and Supply certification, a credential positioned at the Professional level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by CIPS Strategic Programme Leadership. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the CIPS Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Procurement and Supply certification, so one pass can move you toward more than one CIPS credential.

Completion of CIPS Level 5 Advanced Diploma or equivalent experience recommended Because CIPS revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official CIPS exam page before you register.
