Most AI tools are generic. The SupplySensei AI Tutor is built around CIPS syllabuses from Level 4 through Level 6 — drawing on Tim's experience as a qualified CIPS tutor, marker, and Fellow. Ask about specific modules, learning outcomes, exam technique, or tricky concepts. It knows the material.
One price covers all three qualification levels. No subscriptions, no per-question charges, no nonsense.
These are unprompted LinkedIn recommendations from students Tim has tutored and colleagues he's worked with.
Tim's tutoring enabled me to pass all exams first time round with great marks, whilst holding down a full time job. Thoroughly recommend other students to gain his support for their own CIPS journey.
Tim's passion for procurement is infectious — he goes above and beyond for his students. He challenges your thinking, making you think from a different perspective on how to become better in your day-to-day job role. I would highly recommend!
Tim is an incredibly motivated and enthused procurement professional, passionate and knowledgeable in his field. As an advocate for neurodivergent hiring, his skills are invaluable as more and more organisations seek to develop inclusive and diverse workplaces.
Tim's ethos isn't 'get 3 prices and the cheapest wins' — he looks into everything and explores the best choice for the need. He is one of the most sincere and honest people I know and an all-round top guy.
SupplySensei was founded by Tim Young FCIPS — a procurement professional who didn't follow the traditional route, and who built a career on sheer grit, methodical thinking, and a genuine passion for the profession.
Tim isn't just an academic. He's worked across manufacturing, construction, public and private sectors, marked CIPS corporate programmes, tutored day and evening classes nationally, and created AI-powered tools designed to make procurement genuinely engaging to learn.
"I didn't go to university. I didn't have the traditional route. But I passed every CIPS level, built a career I'm proud of, and now I want to help others do the same — without paying thousands for courses they don't need."
