CIPS Advanced Negotiation is an official CIPS exam, registered under the code L5M15. A passing score earns you the Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Procurement and Supply certification, positioned at the Advanced / Level 5 level. The credential also connects to CIPS Level 4 Diploma in Procurement and Supply, CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma in Procurement and Supply, so it can anchor a broader certification path. Because CIPS designs its exams around real job tasks, holding this certification signals practical skill rather than memorized theory.

Candidates face 60 questions inside a 90 minutes window on the CIPS Advanced Negotiation exam. That ratio leaves little slack, which is why pacing deserves as much practice as the content itself. Learn to budget your minutes, park stubborn questions instead of wrestling them, and rehearse under a real clock: a few timed runs in the ActualCollection test engine will make the official time limit feel routine rather than threatening.

The passing bar for CIPS Advanced Negotiation is set at 70%, and registering for the exam officially costs £280 - £350 / $350 - $440. There is no reduced price for a second try: fail, and you pay £280 - £350 / $350 - $440 in full again. That makes honest self-testing the cheapest insurance available, so hold off on booking until your ActualCollection practice scores sit clearly above the passing line, attempt after attempt.

Recommended: CIPS Level 4 Diploma or relevant professional experience; no mandatory prerequisites
